Canals scene in Leiden. The drawbridge in the background is the Kerkbrug, and the canal is on the old course of the river Rhine.

Beautiful shot. Kinda looks like where I live, but only when the floodwall isn't high enough. LOL.

I really like street (water) scenes. Your picture is loaded with detail and clarity. And, there are people in Leiden? So many shots are sans people. Rob, this is an excellent shot.

A great picture. I love all the colours of this city area, the canal looks so sharp and clear. I love all the bicycles and people too. Well done.

Super detail and a painted feel to this one, which I happen to love. I think I must have been a painter in another life, or am to become one.. :)

I often wonder what the basements of these buildings are like. If I lived here, of course I'd have the answer ready to hand, but it does make me wonder.

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon

Dit is echt een prachtige foto... al die verschillende mooie kleuren. Laat staan de helderheid en de hoeveelheid details. Dit is echt een prachtig stukje werk dat je hebt gedaan! Kwam deze foto tegen in de VB en heb hem het hoge cijfer gegeven wat hij verdient!

I like this very much. This is an excellent photo with vibrant color and reflections. I thought it was Amsterdam at first.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Just to respond to the question raised by PJ: the buildings in the historical centre of Leiden, like those in other cities in the Netherlands, are built on foundations made by wooden poles. There can be a lot of them: the royal palace in Amsterdan counts 13.659 of them (source wikipedia, I didn't count them). Incidentally, they can rot. This is usually a Pretty Bad Thing and it can seriously dent your wallet (or leave you without a roof) when it happens :-0.
