Thanks for posting this delightful series, places and details rarely seen be most tourists.   Amsterdam is a very special place to study architecture. We're indebted to Dutch architects and they continue to influence architecture all over the world.

Love the perspective of the Simon Meijssen photo Jaap. I assume it is a deli.

Actually it is a bakery. The shield you see means that the shop is by appointment to the Royal Household. That does not necessarily mean that they deliver a basket of rolls to the palace every day, it is more like a kind of knighthood for old and highly respected firms, although sometimes the connection is close. For instance, our King does fly passenger jets for KLM  (Royal Dutch Airlines) to keep the hours on his license, albeit incognito.

Very interesting Jaap and I will not divulge the King piloting to anyone....!  :D

Thank you! Thank you - to all the posters here. This thread is both inspirational and pulls at my heart strings as I lived in Amsterdam for a few years before moving to USA. It's a beautiful country with wonderful people. I hope as a consequence of this thread that more people travel to NL and more are inspired to take more beautiful shots to add to this collection.
