Canal Tour of Amsterdam

[sebes]

Last Easter we made a canal tour in Amsterdam with my brother's kids. I wanted to post them here, especially for Paul/Paroch, so that you can compare his MD Kingly with the real stuff.

Enjoy the ride!

Hey Sebes,

What great pictures - thank you for posting them.  I can tell that you are a fun uncle to have!

And the pics bring back good memories of Amsterdam for me.  Loved the Montelbaarnstoren pic.

The pics also show what a brilliant job Vanderaap has done with his bats.

All the best

Paul

Hello, Sebes.

It is very nice to find such a wonderful post by you here in "Moments Frozen In Time".  And, to top it off, you've given us such a lovely selection of photographs to view.  It is very hard to "go wrong" when taking pictures of children.  You have a very nice looking niece and nephew.  I enjoyed your canal tour.  You've gotten some really nice photos.  It is nice to see scenes from my ancestral homeland.  Thank you for this wonderful tour and your beautiful photographs.

Regards,

Gary (Vandy)
