- Bicycle parking near the center of Amsterdam. This parking “garage” had four stories and extends a long way from where we took this picture. As you can see, it was very full.
-
- Street chaos. On the left, the cafe has taken 75% of the sidewalk for seating. In the middle, bikes spill out of the cycle lane, vying for who gets to cross first. Pedestrians are squeezed into a couple feet. Tram tracks down the middle of the street.
-
- On the center right, an example of a house intentionally leaning forward out into the street.
-
- Sculpture of the unknown violinist. The tour guide said this sculpture appeared one morning in a canal. The artist has remained anonymous and has secretly delivered about a dozen other sculptures into the city. The officials wouldn’t let this one stay in the canal so they moved it to the foyer of the opera house.
-
- A half-submerged damaged Russian submarine near NDSM. Our tour guide said it was brought there by Russian entrepreneurs who wanted to convert it to a floating restaurant. They turned out to be mafia, the deal fell through, but the sub had already been transported. Now it sits rotting near the ferry dock.
-
- Some of the 350 container homes in NDSM.
-
- Inside the giant old shipyard warehouse at NDSM. Artists and others have made little work spaces out of old containers.
-
- Canal cleaning. The orange machine digs into the water and picks up bicycles that were thrown over. While we watched, they scooped out about 8 mangled bicycles.
-
- A typical small residential street.
-
- The Central Train Station in Amsterdam. The tower on the right is a clock, on the left is a wind vane.
-
- Dutch humor in pseudo-Latin at the entrance to this shopping mall.

Wow, the unknown violinist sculpture is amazing (as is the hipster artist community)!
