Description
Wandering aimlessly around the various Grachts, shot a few photos. This seemed to catch the aimless part, so time to upload!
-*-
It's fun to edit the building photos into terrain maps, and then build the rest of the town with Bryce primitives. The first step is to roatate and distort against a rectangular grid to make the bricks and walls lose the perspective. It helps to start with a clean shot. The two buildings I made were not next to each other as shown, so don't try to find the same spot! :-)
[ Later, and Ed. note ... I should mention that I spent the most time exploring Leiden, Noordvijk, Haarlem, and the Rijksmuseum, and successfully seeking the best Dutch and Indonesian food! I always remember the food, but you might like the rijksmuseum's website.]

Your works are amazing, Lemonjim! Greetings from Brazil.
A wonderful image! Delightful all the way around!
Saw the picture before I realised it was yours and thought "looks like jim's" and it was. You have a unique style. Intersting picture. Holland but not quite. Maybe what Holland looks like after partaking of the number one past-time in the Netherlands. I like it!
Very nice! Love the sky and lighting.
Wow, this is just fantastic, gorgeous architecture and the light really rocks!
Wow! Wonderful scene!!!
interesting place to be, Holland in surreal.
Ziet er goed uit! Erg hollandse lucht en natuurlijk de architectuur. Petje af ook voor het zelf maken van de huisjes.
This is so beautiful. I can't get over the colors and the lighting. Amazing composition!!
this is a real blast dear. pure splendor.

Beautifull and fantastic image. Very original and well done. V
Oh, man, looks like a dream-image of Netherlands, taken from the netherworlds. Almost more real than a photo: Hyperreal! But that sky looks a bit Californicated, nicht wahr?
awesome work! personally i would have worked more on the water, but all the same, excellent work!
Man this is cool. The camera perspective is cool, makes it look like you used some fancy camera work, but I read it was 1/2 Bryce and 1/2 your clever imagination.
Forgive my "dutch", but this is Forking AWESOME, Jim! Amazing lighting, arrangement, modeling and textures! A++ .....brUNO
