Once back with the family, we set out to explore my old stomping grounds. Middelburg, the capital of the province of Zeeland came first. After all, I spent most of my growing up years there. The picture on the left shows the top of a church tower called the Lange Jan ( Tall John )
This tower can be seen from just about all corners of the island of Walcheren, where Middelburg is located. Actually it has not been an island for a long time, but the name stuck. From the top, one has a beautiful view of the town and the island. In my younger years, I once climbed to the top along a narrow winding staircase. This is an aerial view of the center of Mddelburg, with the Lange Jan on the right and the Townhall and the Markt (Market Place) on the bottom left. Below some more pictures of Middelburg.
