Funny to see this!Scanned with the A7rII and FE 90mm F2.8 macro.
A garden city, somewhere in the Netherlands. This was shot back in may 1981 using an Olympus XA and with Kodak Ektachrome. It was a student trip, but the assistants who organized the trip didn't provide any maps... so I don't really know where this was shot.

Thank you so much ! With all you Netherlanders here, I knew I had a good chance to find out.. I really like this architecture. I shot four rolls during that trip and a good half are from those neighborhoods. But I didn't have any experience in photography then and only used a little compact with a fixed 38mm lens, the Olympus XA. That camera was more or less the size of a packet of cigarettes. For this series I used Kodak Ektachrome slides and it has a lot of grain and is very contrasty. Not ideal for digitizing. Still, I like those souvenirs and may put up an album at Flickr with them.Funny to see this!
I know exactly where this is in the Diamantbuurt in Amsterdam. It is part of a neighbourhood built in the style of the "Amsterdam school"
