Resistance monument on the Dom square in Utrecht in front of the Dom church

The Resistance Monument is a monument honouring the Dutch resistance in World War II, consisting of a six-metre-high statue of a woman carrying a torch, symbolising the resistance. The statue was created by sculptor Corinne Franzén-Heslenfeld. The woman is classically designed, with a bared upper body and a draped skirt. A female figure was deliberately chosen because of the Utrecht women's part in the resistance. The monument was unveiled by Prince Bernhard on 4 May 1949. The National Remembrance of the Dead is held in Utrecht at this monument. This photo was taken at dusk on 22 June 2014. Dark Utrecht. This is the name of my series of photos of Utrecht places after sunset. Most Dark Utrecht photos were shot at dusk. http://www.donkerutrecht.nl

Dark Utrecht. That's the name of my still growing series of photos of Utrecht places after sunset. Most of the Dark Utrecht pictures I take in the evening twilight. In the 'blue quarter' to be more precise. After sunset the sky quickly turns an intense dark blue and at some point a perfect balance is created between sky light on the one hand and street and building lighting on the other hand.

Characteristic for my style is the balance in the often tranquil image, the rich, intense colours and the absence of chaos.
