Leiden is Rembrandt's birthplace. His family owned mills. The sketch below is one he did.

This is a picture of some of the wonderful detail. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get very clear pictures up close.

Fascinating Lettered piece

This picture was hanging in the windmill museum in Leiden. You can't tell here, the bhe darker sections are filled with small lettering. The "God zij met u" would translate to "God be with you".

Script signage

I liked this script on the awning of a confectionary-souvenier shop.

Third Wall Poem

I had seen this verse before, but since it was in an unfamiliar language (Russion or similar?) I don't think I had posted it.

Another Wall Poem

A second poem, this one in French . . .

Another Wall Poem in Leiden

For the first time, I decided to stay in Leiden for the weekend. I came across this wall poem during my exploration of areas that I had not previously visited.
