On the corner of Linnaeusparkweg and Hogeweg you can find a fountain with history. The first one stood here in 1900 but disappeared in the 1930s when cars took over. ⛲🚗🚗🚗🚗

In 2007 a new modern fountain was unveiled. Its rising water streams in line with the Rembrandt Tower down the street. Fun fact.

The fountain has smart sensors that shut it off when it’s too windy or freezing. ❄️

Today it’s a little oasis: shady trees, benches, and the sound of water — the perfect pause on your walk through Amsterdam’s quieter east.

How #Google #StreetView Captures The World
Since launching in 2007, Google's service for imaging the traversable parts of the world has been busy. Its coverage today boasts 12M mi across 110 countries, which only gets more impressive once you realize that the company is taking new pictures of those miles all the time.
Anything with a roof rack can have a Street View camera slapped on it. Google hires contract drivers to crisscross world's roads in company's vehicle fleet.
