Wassenaar (Netherlands) Daily Photo: Life on the Water

Houseboats in Amsterdam ... you see them in all shapes, sizes, and styles. An interesting way to live, to say the least.

Anonymous said...: It is interesting. The picture is very nice too. I like the idea of sod on the roof. That is great. Does the local governments get to charge them any kind of annual taxes for their living in the houseboats?; February 12, 2008 at 11:18 AM

I didn't see houseboats with eco roofs when I visited a couple of years ago. Interesting!; February 12, 2008 at 8:50 PM
