This afternoon I decided to go out and take some photos. Just as I was about to ride out of the city, I looked behind me and saw a large group of people protesting about something. I decided to abandon my initial project for the day and follow the group instead.
From the pamphlets being distributed by the protesters, and word of mouth, I determined that this was essentially a protest about an eviction. There is a house in the centre of Leiden that, for the past 40 years, has been occupied by squatters. During the 40 years they have been there, the building became somewhat of a cultural centre. Just recently, the local Council decided to evict them: and today they peacefully expressed their objection to the Council's proposal.
I started following the protest from the intersection of the Hooigracht and Nieuwe Rijn, and followed them down Nieuwe Rijn to the Herengracht. From the Herengracht, they turned left along Oude Rijn and into the Haarlemmerstraat. From the Haarlemmerstraat, they travelled up to the Prinsessekade and onto the Breestraat. While travelling down the Breestraat, they stopped and made a point outside the Town Hall, before making their way back to Hooglandse Kerkgracht and the building in question.
Needless to say, I'm glad that I charged my camera and decided to head out... otherwise I would have missed this completely!
Comments are, of course, welcomed!

Thousands of protesters marched through downtown Chicago on Sunday in one of the city's largest demonstrations in years, airing grievances about war, climate change and a wide range of other complaints as world leaders assembled for a NATO summit.
The protest, which for months had stirred worries about violence in the streets, drew together a broad assortment of participants, including peace activists joining with war veterans and people more focused on economic inequality.
Hundreds of protesters gathered late Sunday night near the Art Institute of Chicago as first lady Michelle Obama hosted a dinner for spouses of NATO leaders inside. At least 100 Chicago police officers in riot gear were also at the scene.
