This is one of the cities’s famous hofjes. These are enclosed spaces with essential garden type area that were originally set up by wealthy people to house widows and other unmarried women we have I think 20 or so. In the picture you can see buildings in front and to the left with the first part of the garden, a lamp, post a sculpture and a bike in the foreground.

Good morning from Haarlem.

It is indeed a small electric delivery vehicle. No more gasoline powered ones allowed in the middle of the city.

Nee, maar ik kan een maken.

In the distance, a car enters a cobblestone Street through a thick veil of mist. There are three story brick houses on either side and a bit of green by the sidewalks.

The sun rises over the tree line Boulevard and a strip of yellow flowers flanked by green grass leads down to a small wooden bench

This is the famous old café Brinkman in the early morning if put all the tables out, but nobody is there yet just the trees standing between the tables and the building.

Yes I took it yesterday morning. I usually only post pictures I take when I walk in the morning.

That’s my original hometown. I left the first chance I had. They are every bit as dumb as you are assuming they are.

A girl walks down a narrow brick alleyway with shorter brown brick shops, and houses on either side. There are some plants in the alley, and the sun is reflecting off the building buildings in the back.

Good morning from Haarlem.

I get blocked all the time I think when the photos I take of Haarlem hit people's feeds. No idea why they would be offensive.

Who is this person?

A picture of a large brick building three stories high about 100 years older or more with a zebra crossing in front of it, which is one of our last tobacco shops. Sorry it was one of our last tobacco shops.

This one?

Around 08:30-ish

Ha! you are correct.

I am an immigrant originally from the States.

Home of some of the best BBQ I've ever eaten.

The sun is rising over a small cobblestone and brick side street with modest brick houses on either side. There’s a small garden on the right hand side on the corner of mostly indigenous plants.

Good morning from Haarlem.

A photograph of a street leading to a tall White House in the center of the city. The house has very high windows and doors, and there are trees surrounding it.

A statue with three elderly ladies overlooking the street, the two ladies on either side or helping the lady in the middle. Someone put what look like masks, but are intended to be gags on the statues in an environmental protest. Unfortunately, someone had removed the little placard they had put underneath before I got there to take a photograph.

Not at all to diminish this, but we always knew this would happen; it's been the plan all along. The irony of the story coming from NYT is not lost on me.

Yeah it's kind of a big deal here, in the typically understated way. One thing people probably don't realize is how tall and fit she is when you meet her in real life. Formidable.

Kind of? They have all be regooded differently. THB, I have never seen anyone go in or out of there!

A two person bike rides along the wet red brick street in front of a gated courtyard surrounded by two story houses built I’d guess in the 1700. This is a hofje which wealthy people built for unwed/widowed women since after the Protestant revolution you could no longer guild churches to show off your wealth. Plus, can’t have those unwed women running around loose!

Good morning from Haarlem.

Which one?

Wrong thread?

Aha. We have secrets. We don’t show the tourists.

Ha! It's not a church anymore. They de-churched it.

Yes, my wife works with them (I help).

I miss NYC sometimes, but not the NYC in that picture! Snow shoveling and ice can go to heck!

I went on a tour recently. Fun fact: during the Renaissance this was also a prison that performed public executions.
