PRETTY, PICTURESQUE AND POSTCARD-PERFECT HOUSES BY CANAL IN HOLLAND

KEE@FSWMAG.COM
ON THE WAY TO THE CHILDREN'S ANIMAL FARM, WE PASSED SOME OF THE MOST PICTURESQUE AND SCENIC HOUSES BY THE CANAL.

Of course part of the houses' appeal is the canal in front of them which gives them extra charm and premium when it comes to selling! The houses opposite these canal houses do not enjoy direct access to this canal which is right in front so they would cost less all things considered.

Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words so look and admire!







Some houses even have their own moats that can be lowered and raised so no cars can enter or leave!


 Another house with moat


 This house has a wooden sculpture of a fisherman! So cute




 Nice diamond-shaped house reflected in canal




 Fresh pumpkin for sale
 When reflected, this house takes on a double diamond shape





 This man is enjoying a tranquil life



 Unique house artfully designed

































 Grandpa and grandson enjoying fishing





 Lovely swans

 This looks like 1 building
 But is not!
 This famous building called Bird & Bird has razor sharp edge which is popular in Holland as I have seen several sharp edged buildings

 Very classy building in The Hague
