I’m amazed as well as delighted to see how beautifully preserved & maintained these ancient European towns are. Becoming immersed in the history of these intriguing places & exploring their past would be so exciting. The stories the old buildings could tell!
How very fitting Neptune enjoys such a prominent spot as he overlooks the sea.
Thank you for the effort in creating this amazing sketch even with your restrictions.
I always find it fascinating (and always with envy) the continuing impressions and influence that the Roman Empire bears on the majority of Europe through architecture, public infrastructure, language, food, medicine, education, et al. The Neptune weather vane may seem innocent enough but is no doubt part of this influence.
Such a lovely town. After searching and seeing the images and reading about it on the Holland.com website along with the scant information available on Wikipedia, this looks like a wonderful destination.
This looks like such a fascinating place! Great to see another Alexnote and also happy to see you've kept up a little tradition :-). Love that Neptune indicates the wind direction from the top of that tower. He could probably tell us some interesting stories.
And that street looks really lovely as well, so well-preserved and I also love that there are street names that almost every town seems to have. I don't know that much about Dutch towns, but Poststrasse/Postweg are definitely common in Switzerland. Nowadays the post office is usually long gone, but the street name remains.
An Alexnote sketch of this lovely town!

Seems this town is another European gem. Wonderful that is has been preserved. Thanks for another interesting and informative Alexnote.
So wonderful to know about it...
