Apparently they are filming The Rider starring Brad Pitt on the Herengracht canal, they made the look like the times when there were squatters in the old times.

Ps: Unfortunately couldn’t find Brad Pitt

Hi all,

I built a LEGO model inspired by everyday life along the Amsterdam canals — including the narrow houses, bridges, and even a tram crossing the water.

I’ve been working on it for years, starting from a small model of my own house and gradually expanding it into a full street scene.

I’m curious what people who actually know the city think — does it feel like Amsterdam old city center to you?

It’s a LEGO set, so the representation of events it’s silly and optimistic, not realistic. Though all building, characters and details are inspired by real life.

I’ve also submitted it to LEGO Ideas, where projects can become real sets if they get enough support. If you’re interested in seeing more, you can check it out here:

The parrots are making their way outside the Vondelpark to enjoy the blossom trees.

Honestly, the trash situation in Amsterdam is getting worse by the week, bins overflowing, bags piling up, and streets looking like no one’s in charge. We’re paying a solid amount per household for afvalstoffenheffing, yet somehow the service keeps declining. Where is that money actually going, because it’s clearly not into keeping the city clean.

Apparently filming about 80’s squatters in Amsterdam
