Gorinchem – A Walk Through Time

Yesterday, I explored the fortified city of Gorinchem with a good friend — a return to a region I recently visited near Slot Loevestein. This time, we wandered through the historic city center, where traces of the past still stand proudly: ancient windows, brickwork shaped by time, and windmills that defy the modern skyline.

Despite the scars of World War II, Gorinchem has preserved many of its old buildings — a living archive of Dutch resilience and craftsmanship. I brought both my Canon 7D Mark II with the 15–85mm lens and my 5D Mark III with the Sigma 100–400mm lens to capture these quiet witnesses of history.

This small compilation begins with a humble window — aged wood, weathered glass — a detail that reminded me how beauty often lies in the overlooked. In a world that moves fast, cities like Gorinchem offer a chance to slow down and really see.

De nieuwe ingang van #TivoliVredenburg aan het Vredenburgplein in #Utrecht zorgt weer voor verbinding met de binnenstad op 8 februari. Er is niet alleen een nieuwe ingang, ook de foyer van de Grote Zaal heeft een andere inrichting gekregen en is dagelijks toegankelijk. Mooi dat architect #HermanHertzberger dit nog kon toevoegen aan zijn eigen gebouw. Het was leuk om andere foyers en de muziekbibliotheek te ontdekken, lekker dwalen door bet gebouw! Goed ook dat er een nieuwe plek is voor kleinere evenementen. De rode letters boven op de ingang, aan weerszijden van de #ScheleEngel, zijn er tijdelijk.
