Leiden, The Netherlands

Svennie

Hi all,

This week I took a short walk though Leiden, an important and beautiful city near Den Haag and Amsterdam. It is not my home town, I was there to give a guest lecture at the Uni. Here are some shots, the rest can be found here. Enjoy :wink

#1 It's a Dutch city, so of course there is a windmill:


#2 Beautiful canals:


#3 keys to the city (and the city symbol):


#4 The Oude Rijn, Stille Rijn and Nieuwe Rijn:


#5 Doesn't need an introduction:

They are all very nice, but I would have to say the third is the best, IMHO.

Thanks for sharing!

Even the air looks clean.

It was clean I was very lucky that day: clear blue skies, low, not too strong, sunlight :ivar In all a very nice winters day. A bit cold, hence not many people on the streets. But this can be plus when you want to show off the buildings and canals
