The Railway Museum

The Railway Museum has been housed in the Maliebaan railway station, built in 1874, since 1954. A major renovation took place in 1988-'89. The interior of the station building was completely renewed and furnished according to the then modern insights. In 2002, it was decided to undertake another major renovation of the museum. After its closure in September 2003, the 1874 station building was emptied and largely restored to its nineteenth-century state. There came a large new museum building with the industrial character of a nineteenth-century railway workshop. This photo was taken at dusk on 27 June 2019. Dark Utrecht. That's the name of my series of photos of Utrecht places after sunset. Most Dark Utrecht photos were shot at dusk. https://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.
