horizontal landscape photo of dutch houses alongside the herengracht canal in amsterdam
horizontal landscape photo of the herengracht canal in amsterdam with traditional narrow dutch quayside buildings. The buildings are tall and narrow because houses were taxed according to the width of their facade of front face. The buildings lean because they were built upon wodden piles and the wood foundations have rotted and become rotten in the marshy wet subsoil.
