Snapshots of Leeuwarden

I went cycling with Jimmy (from now on, I'm referring to Chin Aun as Jimmy because it's faster to type.. Haha) on Sunday last week just to make sure that I can still cycle. It's been so long since I last cycled that I was afraid that I would need training wheels again...

And I equipped myself with camera-slash-phone to get some scenic shots of Leeuwarden to post up just in case I move away in a few years and forget how this place looks like..

Here goes:

Houses Against The Clear Blue Skies Along Rietlandroute

The Intersection of Rietlandroute and Prinsentuin







We basked for a little while in the sunlight to get our share of some Vitamin D before heading on our way to take more photographs...
Riding Along Emmakade (and lookie, that is my shadow on the ground)

View of the Centrum from the Bridge of Julianastraat

Then from there, we headed on along Archipelweg and circled the empty parking lot of De Centraale a few times just for fun.. And our next stop, the Doctor Zamenhofpark... where we go to look at ducks.. and pretend that we have breadcrumbs so that they'd waddle near us...

Daffodils in Bloom

Waddle, Ducks, Waddle!!

I love the Doctor Zamenhofpark... It's so serene and scenic.. and if I were a permanent resident of Leeuwarden, I could consider investing in a house or apartment overlooking it.  

Here's another photo of the park taken in Wintertime during dusk when I was on foot... Absolutely breathtaking :)



Aside from the last photo which was cropped, all photos posted here are unedited and taken using my phone on its automatic mode. I'm not much of a photographer but I thought the photos taken were pretty satisfactory (especially for an amateur!). I guess it really makes a difference when the contents of the photos (in this case, this little town of Leeuwarden) are naturally scenic..
