The "Graan-Silo" (or rather ‘Silos’: two joined buildings for cleaning, drying, storing, and pumping grain to and from ships and wagons) is one of the most noticeable features of Amsterdam. It marks like a great gate-castle the western entry of the wide sweep of Het Ij water across the northern boundary of the inner city.
Standing on some high projection of the buildings one can watch all the complex traffic of the great water-highway perform on the huge water-stage before the city and the Central Station. Sometimes a white cruise-ship, shockingly scaled to the city’s size, emerges round the far wing of the bend and slowly takes possession of the enormous space scattered with determined little boats.
