This is the Herengracht, part of the so called Canal Belt (in English usually referred to as the Canal District), a semi circle of parallel running canals in the centre of Amsterdam. There are four main canals, from the inside out: Singel, Herengracht, Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht. The Singel was built first as a fortress moat. The Herengracht in its turn served as a fortress moat for the Singel. The Canal Belt is on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

Anyway, here's a panorama of two shots of the Herengracht. Taken in November, not the best season to show the beauty of the canals.

The Radbuza River in the centre of Pilsen after heavy rains on 4 June 2024, when the water reached up to the knees of a strongman holding a footbridge, and then on 7 June 2024, when he was standing on dry land again.

It may not look like it, but this stream runs between two old factories in Lancashire, UK, so deceptively urban.
