About this album:
The album "oudeschans" captures a variety of urban scenes with an artistic perspective, primarily through black and white photography. It includes images of architecture, like buildings, balconies, and street elements, as well as everyday life items such as cars, a barber shop, and bicycles. The common themes are cityscape, architecture, and the daily routines within an urban environment. The mood across the images varies from serene to busy, with a sense of nostalgia imparted by the use of black and white photography.

This is a black and white photo of an old brick building, likely a bar or tavern, with an advertisement that reads "KAAS en CAFE" indicating its function as a place for both food and drink. A sign says "Bierboutique" which might indicate the type of beers they offer, possibly a specialized selection. To the left of the building, there's a sign pointing towards the sea or harbor, suggesting this location is near a body of water. The overall scene appears to depict an urban area with historical architecture and a connection to maritime activities.

The image shows an old town scene with a boat docked near the edge of water under an archway. It seems like a rainy day as suggested by the wet street nearby. There is no text visible in the image.

The image depicts an old European building with a distinctive row of small windows, situated on a street lined with trees. The facade of the building is adorned with ornate decorations, hinting at historical significance. The photograph has a vintage or artistic effect applied to it.

The image depicts an urban night scene with bars visible in a window. Through the bars, there's a view of a building facade. A single person is seen walking outside the barred window. There are no distinguishable features or colors. The image may evoke a feeling of solitude or confinement due to the barred window.

The image shows an old metal door located in what appears to be a garage or storage area. On the door is a sign with the words "THE DEPOT" visible on it, suggesting that this might be associated with a store or business named The Depot. The door has been secured with chain link fencing, indicating that access to this location may be controlled or limited. There's no indication of people or activity in the immediate vicinity of the door.

The image is a black and white photograph of an indoor scene. In the foreground, there are multiple pairs of shoes displayed on racks, with some being placed inside a box. A coat is hanging nearby. In the background, a shop window displaying items can be seen. The setting seems to be a retail space, possibly a shoe or clothing store.

This is a black and white photo of a river or canal with trees bordering it. In the foreground, there's a fence running parallel to the waterway. The trees are leafless, suggesting it could be fall or winter. There's a bridge in the background spanning over the water. The water is calm and reflective, indicating it's likely a quiet time of day with no boats visible. A bench is situated on the side of the river, offering a place to sit and enjoy the view. There are buildings on the far bank, which provide an urban backdrop to this natural scene.

The image depicts a serene city scene with a canal running through it. On one side of the canal, there is a row of houses or apartments, while on the other, there are trees providing a natural element to the urban landscape. The sky above is overcast, suggesting an early morning or late afternoon hour when the air is usually cooler and less humid. There's no visible text or human activity, which gives the image a calm and undisturbed atmosphere.
