This pic. need some explanations.
1 The flags tells you there is an art ( Dutch: Kunst) exhibition to visit.
2 Beneath the first flag there is an entrance to a long alley we will visit next couple of pic.`s.
3 the 45 degrees doors on the stepway are an entrance to the cellars of those buildings. In earlier times the houses were heated with peat. These had to be stored, as did many foodstuffs.
An interesting street. I also notice the small pavers artistically combined. Our old house also has a bulkhead in the back of our house to go directly in the basement without using the front door.
Another pretty alleyway. We have those angled doors here as well and for pretty much the same reason- extra storage under the house and access to pipes and things if they need repair. Good shot!
Love this shot with the leading line of the roadway and the wall of houses on either side. The view of the blue sky at the end of the roadway makes this shot extra special. Fav! (Thank you for the explanatory notes. That's really interesting about the peat cellars)
Love the narrow brick streets, I had to enlarge to photo to try to peak all the way at the end of the street, but I couldn't look around the corner lol. Thanks for the info, looking forward to the next shots.
