I'm living in the Netherlands myself, but every time I see this kind of photos ... I'm actually surprised. It's a part of the Netherlands where I haven't been much myself. And have never been since I started to do photography. I really should try to make it to there because that part of the Netherlands has much more photogenic views ... (or is it just that it is so different from where I live in the countryside?)
Anyway, great post and it sure looks like you had a great time in Haarlem.

Often locals don't tend to go to places because they think it's always going to be there, whereas us tourist try to see as much as possible during their visit. That's the same with me at home, there are still many good places I have been yet as there's always next time...
That's one thing, but another thing for me is that for the past 8 years I haven't had a single chance to leave my own village. I used to like going to places, within the Netherlands, with my dogs and camera. But for the past 8 years we had a struggle to survive even financially. So that didn't leave much room for travel, even within the country. Now things are slowly getting better... but now I still have to 'learn' to get the photography trips going again. And that's not as easy as many people might think. There are some things that make that difficult for me that I have to get over. But I'm working on getting that back together.
