This is Gouda, home of the cheese. We took a day trip yesterday, with the whole family, and we all enjoyed it. But I was struck by the quiet reflective canal, and grabbed this picture, and I'm thinking of a watercolor. But this is a city which 150 years ago was synonymous with beggar, that is to say someone from Gouda was a beggar, because the city had been so poor for so long.
In the 40s they started to fill in the canals, but the city fathers changed direction.
