About this picture

These pretty houses are located near the central station of Amsterdam in a street we call the ‘Damrak’. They are centuries old, but somehow remain standing even though some have sagged a bit. What you see here is actually the back of the houses, where it was easy for ships to reach the storages. When passing here I always take a minute to admire these buildings.
