I took this photo in the old town of Harderwijk. When I took this evening photo it was already dark as you can see. It is an HDR photo that consists of 5 photos of different exposures that I have combined in photoshop. In the sky you can still see a little bit of the blue hour, I took this photo at the end of the blue hour. Most of the lanterns in this street burn yellow, a few burn white and those are from the residents as front door lighting. This street is called the Kleine Oosterwijck and is one of the most beautiful streets in Harderwijk. In this street the Zuiderzee fishermen used to live and it ends at the fish market. Although Harderwijk is a Hanseatic city, traders did not used to live here. You can see on the photo that some houses have shutters in front of the windows, given the renovation / refurbishment of these houses, the shutters do not have much use. The only function of these shutters is the decorative value even though they can still be closed.
