Since it has been raining almost non stop in The Netherlands in the past few days I have to post a walk from a few days ago.
Last Saturday I needed to buy some presents, so I went to a nearby city; Leiden.
Leiden is a city with a great history. The first mention of the city around the 860.

Most of the structures I photographed during my walk are lot newer, but still old and characteristic.

This is one of the houses with a stepped gable. I'm experiencing a bit sith monochrome photography, so I converted it in Black and White.

This is "De Waag" a weighhouse in the center of the city of Leiden. In 1455 there was a wooden building, but it was replaced by this one in 1657.
It is now a café.

This church is right in the middle of the shopping street. It dates from 1836. When I shot this image three pigions were flying by.

This is one of the other churches of the city which has a total of 5. I also converted this one into black and white to create make it look more old. Unfortunately there are some modern cars that ruin that idea 😫

This is the Koornbrug; a covered bridge in the center of Leiden. It was built in 1642 and richly decorated.

The followin bridge is a lot newer. It's a cast iron drawbridge.

You can see it's an old city because there are a lot of narrow streets like this. I don't know the reason why they hung shoes on the wires above the streets, but it was a funny sight.
