Haarlem

ViewFinders December Walk

It was 10C on a positively balmy December Monday morning when the ViewFinders met last week for a walk around the historical town of Haarlem, Noord Holland. Starting in the Grote Martkt the weekly market was setting up which blocked any clean images of the gorgeous old traditional square but did add some character. Circumnavigating the St. Bavochurch the ladies got stuck into photographing details of this medieval church. A wander along the Spaarne river took in the traditional gabled buildings plus the old and new boats moored alongside. Our turning point was the De Adriaane windmill, restored to all it's glory relatively recently it sits proud on a curve in the river just begging to be shot. Definitely a place to revisit to be given the full treatment with tripod and filters!
