@bumac Posted December 29, 2009 Share #3024 Posted December 29, 2009 No it is not Denver. Ah ... when we went back to the city in the evening, we had one of these local softtrinks watching the local TV-station. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Van der Herten Posted December 30, 2009 Share #3031 Posted December 30, 2009 Indeed the previous location was found through Google. Your second photo, in combination with the first one, gave the answer. Here we go, the name of the town please. Welcome, dear visitor!

Olsen Posted December 30, 2009 Share #3032 Posted December 30, 2009 Is it somewhere in your home country?` What aweful lens you have been using with this grotesque barrel distortion! What kind of a lens is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Van der Herten Posted December 30, 2009 Share #3033 Posted December 30, 2009 Is it somewhere in your home country?` What aweful lens you have been using with this grotesque barrel distortion! What kind of a lens is it? The nights are long and cold in your place right now, aren't they, Olsen? This shot was taken with a D2, or maybe RD1 + 28/2.0, I don't remember precisely. The location is not in my home country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted December 30, 2009 Share #3035 Posted December 30, 2009 No- more like a smaller town, like Brielle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Van der Herten Posted December 30, 2009 Share #3036 Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) Frans & Jaap, the photo was indeed taken in the Netherlands. The characters on the house might give you a clue. If I would specify for which studies this town is well-known, then I would have given you the answer.

@bumac Posted December 30, 2009 Share #3039 Posted December 30, 2009 So it should be Leiden. You know ... google is a great tool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Van der Herten Posted December 30, 2009 Share #3040 Posted December 30, 2009 Correct! The text on the house is part of the Leiden Mural Poem Project and it is a haiku by Basho. Leiden University is well-known in the field of Oriental Studies. Your turn now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
