Doesburg, Netherlands

The ground floor of the B & B where we stayed, was our host’s clothing design studio.
Sunlit breakfast room.
The way to our living quarters for three nights. Holland has very steep and narrow stairs since they are often space deprived.
The oldest restaurant in the Netherlands, operating since 1448. Food was great, too!
Biked for two days while in Doesburg. Sometimes on dykes above the farms and sometimes on beautiful paths like this one.
At one point we had to ferry across the river Ijssel. About a five minute journey😉
This was an interesting sculpture. We first spotted it when crossing an arched bridge. So we were looking at it in the distance and from a bit above. It looked just like the figures were following each other. But when we walked up to it, they were next to one another. A very interesting optical illusion.
This bell blown from the church tower by the Nazis in 1945, near the end of WWII. The inscription (loosely translated) is “When the clock stopped the bird of freedom flew”.
Another night, we were in a restaurant where this was hanging. The waitress told us that it was a photograph and actual townspeople had posed for it. I love that “Jesus” is a woman.
