The Koppelpoort is a city gate in Amersfoort. It is a combination of a land and water gate. The name is probably derived from the East Middle Dutch word coppel meaning common meadow. The area outside Koppelpoort was a common area. So the name does not indicate that the gate had two functions The gate is located on the northwest side of the inner city, where the moat system - fed by the Heiligenbergerbeek from the southern water gate Monnikendam - leaves the inner city and joins up with the Flierbeeksingel - the eastern remnant of outer moat belt which originated from the Barneveldse Beek (formerly Flierbeek); the currently filled-in western part - short for Beek in the Bekenstein area - used to run along what is now called the Stadsring and originated from Heiligenbergerbeek. After passing the (former) port area De Koppel, this is joined by the later dug Valleikanaal - in turn fed by the Barneveldse Beek - and the whole of the waterways merges into the river Eem. The name Koppelpoort refers to the area outside the gate which was and is called De Koppel. The area served as common pasture land, among others, for the farms that had come to lie within the walls after the construction of the second city wall.
My name is Lisa Kompier, I live in Maarssen (Utrecht) and I am 29 years old.
My passion started about 7 years ago when there were still cameras with rolls that you had to hand in at the store so they could be developed.
I bought my first camera from the marketplace, and even though I was sold! From photographing in nature and small parties to big festivals like Rebirth & Supersized Kingsday. Later I came in contact with Partyflock and since then I photograph a festival every now and then.
By now I'm working on a very wide range of different types of photography such as portrait photography, landscape photography, wild life photography, bridal and festival photography all the way to the border with storm chasing and looking for a story behind an abandoned chateau with a beautiful history in Urban-exploring. You can find examples of this in my Portfolio
