When we arrived in Delft in April it was very cold and rainy. So cold that I started to be concerned that my decision of not taking with us any Winter coat was a mistake. Luckily, the fleece coats we wore ended up enough. Our early pictures of Delft have a predominantly overcast sky. It was interesting that every place we visited was warmer, but in Delft it was always chilly with an unstoppable wind. In the last weeks though Summer seems to have arrived at last. 
As our trip back to Canada is just two days away I biked around to take my last pictures of Delft with a blue sky as the background.
The first four pictures show Delft's main square, the Markt, except the New Church (Nieuwe Kerk) which was shown in other post. The first picture shows the Stadhuis, the Town Hall, that serves as a kind of civic center where, for example, marriages are celebrated. The other pictures show other sides of the the Markt, respectively, South, South (with the Church Maria van Jessekerke on the background) and North.
The last picture shows the old towers of the Eastern Gate (Oostpoort), built in 1867.
We had a wonderful time in Delft and we will miss it.
