"Aan de Amsterdamse grachten" ("At the
Amsterdam canals") is a Dutch song by Pieter Goemans. It was first recorded in1956. It is one of
the standard songs celebrating the city of Amsterdam and one of the best-known
and most popular songs in the Netherlands.
This postcard showing a canal of Amsterdam somehow conveys the mood of the song to me. It was sent by Wendy (20 January 2015) Postcrossing.
Postcards I have received from 2013 to 2018 primarily through Postcrossing and Swap-bot although there are some postcards here that are from other sources.
