Amsterdam & The Netherlands

Bakenessergracht canal street

Along the banks of a narrow canal, is this charming street. Other than a few modern touches (cell phones and BMWs), it felt much like an old world.
Haarlem has its roots in the 10th century and became a city in 1245.
The Bakenessergracht canal feeds from the Spaarne with the Bakenesserkerk tower in the background
