Colorchallenge SundayPurple "City of Leiden, Netherlands"

Leiden in the Netherlands is a university city and the age average seemed around 25 to me (which is probably not true). This is an image of the observatory. It's surrounded by the river and daffodils. Images edited with the Prisma App.

The full moon in Leiden was part of a lovely evening with crisp but warm sea air. The people of Leiden strolled on the streets and seemingly enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. I was astonished of this idyllic picturebook scenery. Not something I experience on a regular basis. Pay a visit to Leiden one day, it's worth it. There is small river in the city center, on sundays the people get out their boats and enjoy a ride with their family or friends.

Hope you enjoy the images.

Leiden is near Amsterdam and was the last station of the Pilgrim before they boarded the Mayflower.

"Where did the Pilgrim come from?

It all started in England, when a group of religious people believed that the State Church of England had not reformed enough from Catholicism. They were banned, and faced prosecution if they would stay in England. This is why they sought refuge in the Dutch Republic. They arrived in Amsterdam in 1608 and from there they moved to Leiden. Before they boarded the famous ship 'The Mayflower', they lived in Leyden."
