Picture taken in the Sint Olofssteeg, a sidestreet of the Zeedijk, in the oldest part of Amsterdam.
As you can see, this is a bike-path, although many people walk through the alley as well (often not knowing that they're actually on a bike-path, something Amsterdammers can get really pissed off about, especially since it's usually the tourists who make this fatal mistake). Clearly visible on the photo are the typical façades of the typical old-Dutch houses as they were built in the 17th century, with a beam and a hook at the top so that heavy packages could be hoisted up to the attick with a rope (this system is actually still being used). Do also pay attention to the sky, since even the sky in this picture is as Dutch as it can get.
