Zaailand - Leeuwarden 6

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 7 December 2007 in Cityscape & Urban.

This square uses to be quite crowded but now nobody was there, so I took the occasion to let the buildings speak without distracting (because always interesting) people. The picture is taken in early spring this year, but light and leaflessness are as they are now a bit earlier in the afternoon on a clouded day.

The buildings you see are, from left to right:
- a shopping mall, with the entrance of an underground parking garage;
- the city public library (classic building, just visible)
- the Friesland Bank (with the green dome and the grey façade)
- an office building, housing several offices
- the Court of Justice (red brick)

The arcade-like small building in the middle is just for decoration. The whole place is used as a market several days per week.
