<p>Photo Amsterdam of an building site - An excavation site at the street Sarphatistraat in Amsterdam city, 2015 for the building of a new hotel.
This picture shows a building-site with piling of hollow iron piles, filling them later with concrete from above - as foundation for one of the growing amount of new hotels in Amsterdam. My city becomes really the 'Venice of the North'. That's one reason why they suddenly care so much for the renovation of the old buildings.
At the upper right side in the image is visible the still resting facade - kept for a while in a sustaining construction - of an old former building of c. 1880, which becomes a part of the new hotel-building. A kind of compromise.
