@MaryB: oh you are going to love it, especialy the old part of the city, I estimate that you will get at least 100 AAA photos!

Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands

Must be very old, the sculptures seem to be antique, but the roof stems from later times I think. Nice relief effect by the afternoon sun.
