TL....we are in the nice old Town of Delft in Holland

I am standing here on the exact spot where Johannes Vermeer painted his famous "View of Delft'' round 1659-60"
JohnTulip brought Vassilis (Vsinopoulos) and me to this place and it feels so nice to stand on a place where a famous person made history

The most famous painting by Vermeer, "The town of Delft in perspective, to be seen from the south, by J. van der Meer of Delft; fl 200." For details on painting click here

The actual painting is an optical illusion created by combining two different views of Delft.

This is how the Delft looks now, (400 years after) from the same POV he did the painting.

It was a wonderful time for me and pleasure to meet very nice peeople like;
Vassilis & Tanya from Greece (Vsinopoulos)
Els & Ad (Hendrika)
Frank & Ann (Dingo)
Fons & Lien (Fons)
Anneke (Ejtaan)
Hans (Greenbaron)
Don (Wallie)
Pepe (José Muñoz) from France ( a non TL photographer, but famous in his region, the Provence in France)
and lastly John The Tulip .. and Yolanda.
I'd a wonderful time here in this small stay and lots of happy memories to take with me.

I'm leaving today for India, with heavy heart and tearns in eyes.

I'll try to post photos and do critiquing as and when time permits, meaning I will critique in short words, since internet in India is diffrent in speed :-)
(so bare with me .. thanks..)

Meanwhile...Hasta la Vista/A bientot/Aufwiedersehen/Ariverdechi (+___@)

Bye,
Vandana

Hi Vandana, good capture of the famous "View of Delft". Johannes Vermeer has done some excellent works and is well known throughout the world.
And what a wonderful time you must have had meeting all those folk... it must be sad to say goodbye.
Have a lovely time in India,
Cheers
Janice

Hey, you missed the chance to tell our boat-rescue-adventure, Vandana ;o). What a lot of buildings have been added since the days of Vermeer... but Delft is a very beautiful city, and I'm happy that I got the chance to see it with such a terrific company. I can imagine your state of mind when it was time to say goodbye... Still, you leave with loads of pictures and memories. Just hope the herring didn't cause you a nightmare LOL.
I agree with Janone about the small size... also, the thick shadow all around the shot somewhat distracts. As for the picture, I like your view on Delft and the way you made your camera capture it.

Have a terrific time with your family in India.

Great typical scene captured. If more water had unobstructed view, I might have considered including it. But, there probably wasn't any. TFS. K2
