Old Stone Bridges, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Sorry for the absence but, between pushing furniture and painting my flat, I haven't had much free time lately. Nevertheless I'm almost done now so, off we go to Amsterdam! This time I start by calling your attention to the city's beautiful stone bridges.

Above, the Blauwbrug bridge (or in English, the Blue Bridge). Built in the place where lied an old blue wooden bridge (hence it's name) it has in it's lanterns the most amazing stone decorations. Bellow the lanterns a shape that reminds a boat and on the top several beautiful crowns (Austrian ones, they said).

Another fantastic stone bridge is the one near the Munttoren Tower. Fully decorated with metal statues like the one above, this bridge it's a true work of art. and most definitively worthy of a visit :)
