Title: Holland cover houses 2012 Post by: roll plymouth rock on May 17, 2012, 06:43:03 PM Figured some group members may be interested in seeing these - two pictures I took of the houses from the Holland cover that Smile-holland very kindly helped me get to in Amsterdam! Check them out if you are ever in Amsterdam, they are just a few blocks from Centraal Station

Title: Re: Holland cover houses 2012 Post by: GuyO on May 18, 2012, 01:59:38 AM Well done both of you. I was under impression the location of the houses had never been discovered. You must have been the first ones. Which 'gracht' is it?

Does anybody know whose idea it was to photograph these houses in particular, and the idea in general? I could imagine Dennis strolling through Amsterdam during the weeks of recording sessions and spotting these houses as a cool album cover motif. He was an amateur photographer, after all. |
