View on a sunny Botermarkt (lit; 'Butter Market') in the centre of Kampen, with the Nieuwe Toren ('New Tower') in the background.
During the Middle Ages this square was the location for a butter market, hence the name. Before that it was a cemetery belonging to a nearby monastery.
A colourful and joyful scene. I must be picking up this Dutch language - I guessed that "botermarkt" meant "butter-market", if only everything in life was so simple!
Great view !
