An Amsterdammertje is a pole on a sidewalk that is used to prevent unwanted parking and separates the roadway/pavement. In the days of the horse and wagon an upside down gun barrel was used. The crosses are part of the city arms and are named after the apostle St Andrew who died a martyr's death.

Spring is my favorite time of the year in Amsterdam. Flowers and trees are in bloom, birds are singing and people are smiling! Sit down at an outdoor cafe at a canal, relax and enjoy the sunshine. Or why not join an Amsterdam Photography Walking Tour to capture the moment!
