The Netherlands, Leiden – September 2025

Detail from a front in the Breestraat in Leiden. In den vergulden Turk used to be a restaurant. It moved decades ago to a different spot in town. It then changed its name to Wienerwald. The top of the original front is still there, and recently brought back to its old splendor.

Retro Front

The Netherlands, Leiden – September 2023

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #266 is ‘Time’. The last time I will post about ‘time’.

At the Breestraat in Leiden, one can see an example of a shop front that has been brought back to its old look from years ago. They call it retro. Beautiful.
