Crooked Buldings

Surprising how many buildings in old Amsterdam are not parallel and vertical. Seems there are many built on wooden piles in the 1600s & 1700s that are sinking slowly over time. Water table is high of course, being the Netherlands. Don't know if the floors are on a slope inside but any walls that don't look vertical in the pics are just that ... leaning. Leans can be left, right, forward or backward, or any combination thereof!もっと詳しく
