What a thunderstorm we had yesterday ⛈
And spectacular sky over the Montelbaanstoren - the beautiful tower on Oudeschans canal.
The original construction created in 1516 as part of the city walls defending the harbour. The top half, designed by architect Hendrick de Keyser, was extended to its current, decorative form in 1606 and didn't change much since, as you can see from the painting of 17 century.
Soon after the apex was added, the gained the nickname "Malle Jaap" (Silly Jack) because its bells would ring at unpredictable times – or would be silent for days. •

Magnificent art for Monday inspiration.
Maestro Claude Monet created these vibrant paintins during his visits to the Netherlands. The French impressionist painter toured the Netherlands several times in 1870-1880 and made 42 Dutch landscapes and cityscapes.
Here are the “Houses on the Zaandam River” – one of Monet most famous paintings of the Netherlands, and “Tulip field in Holland”.

Yes, the amount of rain changes perception 😅

But how great these houseboats look with laundry hanged to dry! You can vividly imagine how the Amstel River and the famous Magere Brug ("Skinny Bridge") looked like 150 years ago.

Love the reflections!
It's pretty rare to catch a tranquil moment like that.
Also, a few of the oldest houses in the city, dating back to the XVI century. •

Another peculiar speciality in Amsterdam’s architecture is former warehouses transformed into apartments complexes.
When the city was rapidly growing, wealthy merchants wanted to have warehouse close to their living quarters (to keep a close eye on their precious goods) - so these typical buildings are frequent in the old centre. It’s easy to recognise because of wooden shutters, as back in the days, there were no glass windows, and when cargo was loaded, the shutters would be kept closed.
Now it's redesigned into fancy city apartments with french balconies.
