Hi John,
I like it, the place is beautiful and Delft is such a pretty town. I were so interested to visit the potteries there it was amazing - and we were the only visiters - we were there in January, almost no tourists - exept us ;-)
Thanks and greetings

Hi John,
I am presuming that this is one of the 'older buildings' in town, the blue sku with clouds is in your favor to give this image so much of color and depth...
The lens looks really sharp ( I have a 28-135 IS USM and I really like it.
excellent handle on sunlits and shades...
Do I like the border? Hmm...I think I am getting used to those on here:)
Regards
David

Hallo John.
Leuk hoekje in ons toeristisch Delft. Vooral de huisjes spreken mij aan.
Mooie opname en een erg goede compositie.

Hello John !

Interesting shop , architecture and camouflage ! Looking at the air conditioning units painted the same was as the wall sign. The funny chair reminding me a chair designed by Franquin for the office of Gaston Lagaffe years ago. Like also this trompe l'oeil making two houses with one , just altering the front colors of the wall.

I humbly propose you a little WS to straightened the tall lamp post (^_^). I hope you won't mind.

Cheers!

I don't know why the lantern is bugging you, John! If I was looking for a pov there, I would have looked to include it in about the same spot you did. It somehow ties the foreground to the architecture and adds an interesting element as well as depth and perspective.

Love your proverb John!!!!

But I guess that's not what TL is about.

About the lantern... the silly thing is there and you cannot change that. Cloning it away would be.... silly, simply because it's part of the square, part of it's history and culture.

Now... about the facade: is that realy two in one? It looks a bit odd, though I'm sure it's for real...

Anyway, it's another nice entry here of something typical Dutch. Nice composition and colors as usual.
What I particularly like is the reflections in the windows, showing the facades on the other side of the square! Well done!

Cheers,
Anneke

Hi John

Very nice POV and sometime there is nothing we can do with the accessories around the site. Lanterns do exist and were happy to have them at night.
The image is very sharp and colourful.

Hoi John wat een mooi plaatje is dit de kleuren en de scherpte zijn prima en die lantaarn past echt wel. Wat mij wel opvalt dat de gevel eigenlijk een beetje gekunsteld is of zie ik dat verkeerd, volgens mij hebben ze die grijze gevel zo gemaakt om het nog Hollandser te laten lijken. Klopt dat?

Hi John,
Even kijken wat jij uitvoert als je niet stiekem tussen de toiletten zit. Delft - ja hartstikke mooi (leuk die 2 in 1 gevel) - doe je alle buitenlandse TL'ers ook een genoegen mee. Lekkere eethuisjes hebben ze daar ook. Onze pleegzoon studeerde Geodesie in Delft dus vroeger kwamen we er nog wel eens. Prachtig.

Die lantaarns doen me denken aan
enkele gelijkaardige te zien in Brugge
Vroeger werden ze als gaslantaarns
gebruikt. Een man liep met een lange
stok rond om ze een voor een aan te
steken!Ik zie het nog gebeuren!!

Hi bro, Cute houses of Delft. Very well captured. Lovely colours. I like also the beautiful blue reflections in your other photo in the ws.
Is it reflections or is it painted?
Great work! Sis :)

Very nice and sharp picture, John. The clouds and sky above, finished it.
Always nice to see Delft. A nice village between Tha Hague and Rotterdam.
Maybe it's nice to go there with some other TL-ers.

Groetjes ook aan JO en prettig weekend,
