Please, don't tell me that this image is tilted, as Delft has its own LTOP ('Leaning Tower of Pisa'), lol.

The 'Oude Kerk' (Old Church), nicknamed Oude Jan (Old John), is a Gothic church in the old city center of Delft, The Netherlands. Its most recognizable feature is a 75-meter-high brick tower that leans about two meters from the vertical.The Oude Kerk was founded as St. Bartholomew's Church in the year 1246, on the site of previous churches dating back up to two centuries earlier. By checking-out THIS LINK you will find more (Wikipedia) information.

Hope you like this image. Thank you in advance for your comment.

My first thought was : "It can't be possible - not Cornelius!" - until I read the description :) So you have your own Tower of Pisa! Very nice image, my friend.

Good luck in the finals against Spain this evening:

Oh My Gosh - a tilted image!!

Just joking - a fine shot and appreciate the description.

The oude tower appears to be peeping through the avenue of trees for a better view of the well known photographer Mr Cornelius.

Cornelius, your image is tilted! (Just being a little defiant.) LOL. I had no idea that this even existed. Must be hard getting up the steps to the tower. Beautiful shot, and a great addition to you Delft series.

I might not have believed it true if you had not said so.You could not have taken a better photo of this..I wonder if any one ever drives in to the river because there are no guardrails around it..Great photo.

A good fun image that is beautiful Sea. I noticed on the link it is leaning the other way. Does it sway back and forth? Just joking. I imagine it is very much photographed.
Good health to you and yours.

Beautiful photo. You definitely have captured the straight lines of the canal as opposed to the leaning tower of Delft. Fran

You could have fooled me, but so nice to see it as it really is. Nice colourful, and crystal clear.
