If jufjo will pardon me jumping in here, his images are at
http://www.flickr.com/groups/amsterdamthenandnow/pool/ and are equally stunning as these. It’s the background commentary that really makes them come to life. That and I know Amsterdam quite well, so they have some resonance with me.

These are superlative!
Amazing, I’ve done the same with Amsterdam during WW2, but only a few pictures.
What a lot of work!
Very well done, thanks for sharing.
Could you please share a link to the flickr collection so I can add my compliments there as well?
Sure. Sergey has not put these images on flickr, though he has put three similarly beautiful images there…
Your Amsterdam images sound very interesting, Jufjo. Are they online?
These are stunning - the history right there on the streets.

Thanks very much Martin. Jo’s pictures are indeed stunning.
