This photo captures the atmosphere of a rainy day on Leiden's famous Breestraat. The low perspective offers a unique view of the street, with a series of historic buildings stretching along the road.
The rainy conditions add a certain melancholy to the image, while the buildings and even the town hall on the right are reflected in a puddle on the ground. This reflected image creates an interesting play of light and shadow, giving the picture depth and character.
The photo reminds us that even on rainy days, beauty can be found in the city. It depicts the Breestraat as a lively and characterful part of Leiden, where history and the everyday come together, even in the rain.
