Ringdijk 8️⃣ is a former residential address in the Watergraafsmeer neighborhood and has been squatted for quite some years by the “Anarcha-Feminist Group”.🚺👊🏻

With two fierce, seemingly Asian styled, leopards on its facade it’s hard to miss. 🐆 🐆

The Ringdijk, which surrounds the Watergraafsmeer polder, functions both as a flood defense and a scenic street with a mix of modern and traditional homes. 🌊🌊🏠

To safeguard the area against rising water levels, the dike has recently been raised by approximately 30 centimeters. 🆙 🚧

The Caetsbaanbrug (Bridge 112) is a fixed bridge, spanning the Lauriergracht and connecting the Prinsengracht’s southwest quay. Its name comes from the historic “Kaatsbaanpad”, which existed here before the canal was dug. The bridge dates back to at least 1️⃣6️⃣2️⃣5️⃣, as seen on old maps. 🗺️

In 1704, a three-arched version was built, similar to nearby bridges. The current structure, made of wrought iron and buckled plates, was constructed in 1️⃣8️⃣9️⃣3️⃣. 🌉

Bobbing Boat

I removed an electrical part for cleaning.

A wire sparked⚡ and later I noticed my battery monitor was dark. It stayed that way after I cleaned and reconnected the part.

I traced the wire from the back of the monitor in the control panel, through the bulkhead to the engine compartment, and into an electric box. And there it was: a blown fuse.

Fuse replaced (2 for £1.09). Battery monitor works. It says: 14.40.

The white building on the left is the facade of the third oldest bar in town. It first opened in 1️⃣6️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ and it’s still there. For over 15 years, a sign behind the windows read: “Not for sale or rent.”💰🤷🏻‍♂️

And yet, dozens, maybe even hundreds of people dropped a note in the mailbox, hoping to take over the legendary Amsterdam café Brandon. In vain…🧾😥

The old proprietors, the Brandon family, lived above the establishment, and as long as they were alive, it would remain closed. 🔒

The café is located at Keizersgracht (corner of Leliegracht), on the edge of the Jordaan. 🍺 🍷

“De Vier Heemskinderen brug” (the vier heemskinderen bridge), also called the “Vier Heemskinderen” Lock, is a fixed bridge in the old town. 🌉

It sits along the western quay of the Herengracht, crossing the Leidsegracht. The bridge is a municipal monument since 1995 and it is surrounded by national landmarks, like the “Krijtberg Kerk” (krijtberg church) seen over the roofs of Herengracht. 💒

This Is My Glasgow

A fragment of the old Monkland Canal passing under Castle Street in Glasgow. Designed by James Watt, this canal was completed in 1794 and was built to bring coal into Glasgow. Most of it was filled in when the M8 was built in the 1970s. If you look on the right hand side, you can still see where the ropes used to pull the barges have worn grooves into the metal positioned to protect the stonework on the corner of the bridge.

An old section of canal surviving under a modern road interchange.
