Can anyone tell me where this is in Amsterdam please, i have just bought this print for my house and would like to find it on my next trip in may. http://www.allposters.co.uk/gallery.asp ... &SearchID= hope this link works.
Nice print. I think the clue might be in the bridge in the background. Note how it has 3 "passages" for water. I've got a book at home that details the different types of bridges and where they could be found. I'll check it out when I'm at home. Also above that bridge see a tall house with a dark facade, could be familiar to some. Since we can see the facade of those houses in the background, this might be a bend in the gracht, another clue. We could turn this into a game.
I thought this type of bridge was mentioned to be only on certain canals, but I was wrong. Read the upper right corner. My vague guess is that it is on either the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht or Herengracht looking westerly or northerly. Not much help there. Sorry.
By the looks of it, the picture is maybe reversed and has been takin from Vijzelstraat on the Herensgraght bridge lookin towards Thorbeckplein just off Rembrantplein.

That would cause you to face easterly. Would you still be able to see buildings on your left side (north side of canal) face you as you look left to right?
Not unless ya took a photograph and reversed the origional image. 3 tunnels, the size of the trees and car parking spaces say its on one of the main canals. It's quiet and not a lot of boats. The corner goes from left to right. Neiuwespiegelstraat is the only other bridge on a corner of the main canals. The bridge is on the angle of the corner with what looks like a canal off to the left and solid ground or a canal to the right, infront of the bridge. I don't think this setup exists on any of the main canals...cept as a mirror image. Hmmm..Unless it's in the middle of a long corner, in which case it's from Leidsestraat...probably from the Keizersgraght bridge looking at the junction of Leidsegraght.
