Elevated real photo view of the Nieuwmarkt (New Market) square in Amsterdam, Netherlands, looking down over the medieval Waag (weigh house) — the dramatic turreted late-Gothic fortified tower at center — with its adjacent covered market hall to the right. Street-level market stalls with striped awnings fill the square below; the towers of the Zuiderkerk and the dome of the Sint-Nicolaaskerk are visible on the skyline, along with the rooftops of the historic canal ring stretching to the horizon.
