Windmills, canals, bicycles, bridges, barges, crenellated 17th century architecture, reflections, streetlamps, cobbles, flat long vistas, dykes and dams - it could only be The Netherlands and indeed it is - the historic, picturesque town of Leiden located between The Hague and Amsterdam - formerly a textile town making woollen cloth and now a university town also popular with tourists. It even looks pretty on a grey, wintry bleak morning in January with an icy horizontal wind cutting like a knife.............

Oh, it does look like such a lovely place -- in spite of the gray skies, but of course, they look like home to me!! I love your captures, Catherine!! Hope your new year is off to a great start!! Enjoy!
Hi Catherine, the place looks really neat and cool. The second photo is my favorite in this set.
brrrr….if I were a painter I would try for the last shot.
And you would be right - this is the town where Rembrandt was born and lived and he did indeed paint the view intge last shot....
