A photo impression of the shopping area in downtown Utrecht. A few of these shop fronts are set to disappear, others are selected because they are a bit different from the average high street store.

Château Holtmühle, Tegelen, by night

Château Holtmühle by night

Recently we had a chance to spend the night in Château Holtmühle in Tegelen, province Limburg, an old castle but now a hotel. I had little time for photography while I was there, but I did wake up early for a short photography shoot around dawn.

The castle was probably built in the late 14th century, and for many centuries played an important role in local history. In the 20th century the local government became the owner of the castle, and currently it houses a hotel.
