Exploring Utrecht

we love the "American" Shop names! Makes you want to run right in and shop, eh?
First view of the Domtoren(Cathedral tower) which rises above the town
This tower is on the spot where the Romans built a settlement in AD 47
a statue in the Domplein, Cathedral square, where the church and tower stand
main altar in the Domkerk
sandstone sculture carved in 1501
The Holy sepluchre of Christ
It was damaged in 1580 during the reformation
stain glassed window, impossibly tall
Molly by the chrsitining font of this Epicopal church
another building in the Domplein
I love this door carving of Saint Martin and the beggar
a beautiful courtyard behind the kerk
my favourite tourists
how to capture the grandeur of these buildings?
Domkerk with Domtoren in the background
downspout!
Jan van Nassau
Dutch streetscape
We strolled along the Oudegracht and went to the canal
