the leaning tower of leeuwarden

it exists,

just in the form of an old church tower

& it leans even more than the tower of pisa

chris & i went to see "sherlock holmes" last night

we parked near the oldehove & i liked the way it looked illuminated at night

construction on the oldehove began in 1529, after the citizens of leeuwarden wanted a tower taller than the one in the city of groningen, the martini tower.

during construction, the oldehove began to sink unexpectedly into the soft soil,

and after many efforts to stop it, the project was stopped in 1533
