here you see the same canal (oude gracht, i.e. "the old canal") as depicted in yesterdays picture, but now from the other side (yesterday i was standing near the tiny white bridge, which is called the green bridge. but its white, and i cannot find why its called the green bridge while being painted perfectly white). weesp earned cityrights in 1355. nowadays, all the buildings in the city center are protected. apparently that also meant that while the church could be remodeled into a dental practice, the church organ had to stay and remain fully functional!
but, i actually took this picture for the cute canal art you see to the right. i really like it, and took several photos of it already. every year there is some art in the canals, but i think this one is to stay. i jut couldnt find any information on it...

Oh, I made a picture of the same sculpture but didn't post it yet, ha,ha! You can find the name of the sculptress at http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lijst_van_beelden_in_Weesp. I alraedy had made researches, but it doesn't matter, you were first.
De bomen zijn nu omgezaagd. Dit is dus nu een historische foto geworden.
