 The market square at Haarlem with the Great or St. Bavo church.

Made photos in the "Frans Hals" museum today, "Wiki loves art" is running here this month. Lot of restrictions in the museum, but it was wonderful to do. I'm not a big fan of old paintings, but it's very nice to look at them through a camera.

On the left a detail of a painting made by Gerrit Berckheyde in 1696, on the right the situation today (on my way back home). Not exactly the same angel, but I think it's nice to see the two views together.


This is just a very quick edit (painting is too blurry, due to noise correction I think).

this is nicely put together... it's interesting to compare these and realise that despite the new technology the square still seems to hold the same kind of social purposes.

Agree with everyone that this is a great comparison of the church 313 years later. Interesting to see how the church has added to the building over time. Well done.

Wow! this combo looks great, you came up with a really good concept here ;), I love pictures that show the before and after, I find history so fascinating.

Excellent concept and you came darn close to the same angle! This really is very neat to see, the two versions side by side.

That is just too cool for words. Excellent idea and so neat for us on the other side of the world to be able to see!!!!! :)

Very nice comparison images. It's hard to imagine how life was for the people who lived in 1696.

What a fascinating idea, I really like this and I am tempted to try it myself. In fact this could make a really interesting side challenge.
