The beginning of July found us in a several day visit to Amsterdam. It is a very enjoyable city, even if one has to contend with lots of tourists. We had a wonderful time visiting the art museums, seeing so many great paintings by Van Gogh, Rembrandt and Vermeer, among others. The concert we attended at the Concertgebouw was top notch and the room is a wonderful music hall. But simply wondering around the city was highly rewarding in itself. My gallery of photographs from Amsterdam includes many scenes from around Amsterdam, examples of Amsterdam’s beautiful architecture, and photos from within the old city’s two main churches, the Nieuwe Kerk and the Oude Kerk.

After taking a look at these samples and the slide show of several more below, I invite you to click on over to see the full gallery and enjoy this beautiful city.
