Streets of Amersfoort #1 Photo

Photographer’s Note

The photo was taken during our visit to Amersfoort, Holland.
Please have a look my other Netherlands shots here and here (TrekLens)

Amersfoort has a nice historic centre, where the network of streets and canals is much like it was in the Middle Ages. Compared to Amsterdam the canals are small quiet and intimate, and bordered by some lovely gardens. A single big Tower (Lange Jan / Tall John) standing on the market square is the real focal point of the city. The Joriskerk on the Hof is worth a visit as well. Amersfoort is actually one of the few Dutch cities that has nice squares.

Please have a look more information here.

Ciao Alex,
I like the conversion in B&W, and as you have vertically well centered the reflection, good the perspective by the bridge.

The water is so incredibly still making for some stunning reflections. Excellent composition with the perspective lines carrying our eye into the frame.
