Veere (03), No Traffic Jam

After a walk of less than five minutes I entered the sleepy little town of Veere (less than 1650 people) . As you can see: no traffic jam but only silence. You allready can see the 'Grote Kerk' (Tall Church). With my next photo I will give you more details about that church.

Cornelius were the pennies for the church on. What a pity that the
tower not is build as a spire tower. And Veere sleeps really.
What a delicious peace.

Ik weet niet of het zo goed vertaald is?

Cornelius waren de centen voor de kerk op. Wat zonden dat de toren niet is afgebouwt tot een spitsetoren. En Veere slaapt echt nog. Wat een heerlijke rust.

If you love something, set it free. It it comes back to you, it is yours. If it does not, it was never meant to be. Wil

Wil, Hans (dutch_postings) and you are right. The construction of this church and tower started in 1348 and ended in 1521 as there was a lack for money.

Wonderful place you live - so quiet and so beautiful too. I am enjoying our stroll around town very much. Beautifully clear and well composed picture.

Hans, there may be some confusion as there is a very little town called Veere and a municipality called Veere. The little town Veere is a part of the municipality Veere.
