The day before yesterday, after visiting the world press photo exhibition (which really doesn't make you happy), I was walking through town and saw that on the Oudezijds Voorburgwal they had started installing quay reinforcements by means of tubular piles that are installed vibration-free in the ground by drilling. There should be one at every mark on the quay masonry.
On the other propped but not yet handled side, a heron sat undisturbed fishing for food totally unimpressed by the violence in front of him. (Header a photo one corner further away.)
In any case, it is a very different canal face as usual.
