Here, at the Spui in Amsterdam I am most Sundays to sell my etchings . On the day this was shot (28th of November, so last week) it was a cold and wet day and not a great many people were around. Still enough to make it worth while though. The Spui derives its name from the fact that here the superfluous water was let into the ditches outside the town.
Cf.: ‘spui’ with ‘spew’.
