  • Hallo Els, Een heel mooi album over het oude Leiden. Veel aandacht voor mooie details, voor de geveltjes en de grachten, maar ook voor mensen. Alles bij elkaar vond ik het een leuk afwisselend album van (zoals altijd van jou) uitstekende kwaliteit. Groet, Tjebbe

  • Hello Els, and thank you for your comments in my Lovely Lizards album. They are wonderful creatures, I would love to have one as a pet, but they belong in the wild, and should stay there. Thank you too for this mostinteresting photo excursion through Leiden. These are lovely photos, my favorites are the reflections in the canal. Excellent photos, and compositions. Greetings from Keith in Sydney.

  • Hallo Els! Jetz erst habe ich ein wenig Zeit in Alben zu gucken... und entdecke Deine wunderschöne, ausführliche Stadtbesichtigung von Leiden! Sehr interessantes und abwechslungsreiches Album! Du hast neben den klassischen Stadtbildern so viel originelle "shots" eingefügt, mit Humor die kulinarischen (4 und 58), das architektonische 20, die spezielle Reflektion in 14, das "Door detail" mit dem eindrücklichen Relief in 45, die schwimmenden Gänse, die hübschen Seerosen, und so weiter... Vielen Dank, dass du uns an deinem Erleben teilnehmen lässt! Noch Dank für deine Wünsche vor unserer Abreise! Ausser Familienbilder haben wir in Genf nur wenig Fotos gemacht, ein kleines Herbstalbum nur... Mit herzlichem Gruss, Käthi

  • Dear Els, This is a brilliant album of Leiden and I look forward to you doing the other half of the tour some day too. I loved all the details you found in all the buildings, the reflections in the canal, I loved the poem in picture 25 and also the way you gave the feeling that the city is very much alive with fun and lots of people enjoying themselves. Thank you so much for your recent GB entries I'm glad you enjoyed our Steam train ride we are eagerly awaiting the new Harry potter film here very soon now. BTW I'm still waiting for my wee helpers to arrive in the garden ;o) LOL Take care now Jill

  • Hi Els, Thanks for looking at my locust pictures. Yes, they have some very impressive legs. Legs with a build-in saw! I am happy you liked them. A friend of mine studied in Leiden and always told me how beautiful, how special this town is. Your pictures show a lot of the flair of this old and still so young town. I like it very much that your always show some of the flora around. #8 is such a wonderful shot. Beautiful reflections! All those close-ups on the historic details, the bicycles, the geese and the student activities make your album very special. It sure was a wonderful day for you there! Galit from Israel

  • Hi Els, thanks for introducing Leiden to us. This album contains a beautiful mixture of the old and new faces of this city. Thanks for inviting me to visit this album. Thanks also for your kind comment in my Waterfalls album. You're always invited to take a look at my album. Take care, Yair.

  • Hi Els and what a gorgeous album you have here! Beautiful photos of a lovely old city and I am not surprised that Rembrandt became a famous artist - he would have been so inspired by his early, youthful, surroundings. I love the canals and the reflections and, of course, those beautiful old buildings dating back many centuries. Out here a building is old if it was built in the late 19th century - and there are not too many of them about either! Excellent work which made it such a thrill when I read your comments in my latest Wildflowers and Country towns album. Thank you very much for that. It was the first day of a week's holiday and the rest of the pics are in my georgieboy05 site. Thanks once again and best wishes, Peter

  • Hallo Els, Wat een mooie en gezellige stad is Leiden.Een echte studentenstad is het, al die fietsen geparkeerd bij de grachten en bruggetjes. Je hebt de stad en de mensen die er leven of tijdelijk verblijven heel goed in beeld gebracht. Met plezier heb ik je tocht door de stad meegemaakt. Bedankt voor je aardige woorden in mijn South-Africa album. Groetjes.....Juana

  • Hello Els, what a fabulous album brilliant in every way, it is not fair that one town can have two very important people coming from it, there are several that I could choose as a fav but I am going for #19 the upside down view, I love reflections great album and can say I have been eagerly waiting for it then was out yesterday and missed it, Take care and best wishes, Ken
