During my visit to Amersfoort, I decided to climb the steps of the Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren tower, a considerable climb, but definitely worthwhile. Once at the top, I was treated to a panoramic view of the city, with St George's Church as its impressive centrepiece. From this height, it felt like I was momentarily suspended above time: the red roofs, narrow streets and rhythmically placed greenery gave a wonderful overview of Amersfoort's historical character. The church itself towers stately above the surrounding buildings, displaying its Gothic forms from a rare perspective. The soft light that afternoon gave the city a warm, almost picturesque glow. For me, this photo is more than an image; it is a memory of that quiet moment above the city, where you can really appreciate how beautiful and layered Amersfoort is.
