Why Not Leiden? This graphite pencil drawing ‘Hortus Botanicus – 26-05-24’ yet another impressionist view. Since the last one ‘Arentsdorp – 17-05-24’ I thought of doing something similar but outside The Hague. My initial plan was to depict Leiden again, the town where I once studied. It’s not far away from here, some 10 miles north. There is a great bike path and sometimes I wonder why I don’t visit the place more often. Anyway, there was a sound reason of heading there a week ago. There was this annual Japanese Fair along The Rapenburg I would like to visit. Even the weather was nice so went for a little ride. Memory Lane Once I got to the fair it was a bit of a let down. Not the stuff I would like to buy and disappointingly no great kimono’s. Only cheap stuff and no fresh products, etc. Since I wasn’t into bowls, books or other paraphernalia I fled straight into the Hortus Botanicus situated behind the Academiegebouw. It must have been 30 years ago since
