These amazing daffodils came from “the other flower market,” held Monday mornings at the open square behind the Amstelkerk.  Notice also the carved white marble support for the steps, the gauze curtain that gives a little privacy without preventing people from seeing in, the bicycle parked out front, the houseboat on the other side of the canal, and the big windows in the 17^th century buildings.  In the dark northern climate, the latter were essential to provide enough indoor light.
