Leiden,The Netherlands
Leiden is one of our favorite cities. We have ended 3 tours there, and it is only a short ride to Shiphol Airport. We try to get there a couple of days before our departure. It is a great place to explore.
I was standing on a street corner, on a popular route for the college kids, trying to get some "bike photos" depicting the bike culture of the town. It was an instant connection with the young woman on the back of the bike. She is looking directly into my camera during the 3 shots I made as they rode by. One of the photos is a favorite from the trip (not this one). The next morning I was on the same corner trying to impove from the day before. They rode by again. I was not prepared, and didn't get a picture as she waved. I spent another hour or so, but the previous day was hard to beat.
