The Drift is a canal and street in the centre of Utrecht. The canal was constructed between 1390 and 1393 and is located between the Kromme Nieuwegracht in the south and the Plompetorengracht in the north. The picture was taken from the Maarsbergerbrug and looks forward to the bridge of the Janskerkhof.
The tower on the left, on the corner of the Nobelstraat and Janskerkhof, looks medieval old, but comes from 1905. The office of the life insurance company Piëtas was once located here.
This photo belongs to the series Modern History and is therefore executed in black and white.

Hi there! Nice seeing you here! I'm Jan vd Knaap, a photographer in Utrecht. I normally deal with portrait photography, for humans and animals, and I give workshops to get the most out of the camera. But in the meantime, I fill my account here with photos that I like. That can actually be anything, ranging from seasonal photos to macro photography, or abstract to landscapes and locations. The Netherlands is a beautiful country and beautiful photos can be found everywhere. Whether in my hometown of Utrecht, Amsterdam, Purmerend, Hoorn or Leiden, I always have my camera with me and I always come home with new work. So in practice I work throughout the Netherlands. Take a look in my portfolio for beautiful work on your wall, and also visit my website at https://www.candela-fotografie.nl! With kind regards, Jan vd Knaap, Utrecht
