Alkmaar, city of cheese, canals and history.
On Verdronkenoord, the famous Waag stands proudly in the middle of the city. For me, this was a magical moment to capture: the historic facades reflect in the calm water, while the evening sky slowly turns blue.
What makes this place so special is its tranquillity. While the city center is bustling with life, here time seems to stand still for a moment. The warm lighting of the buildings and the Waag gives it a fairy-tale feel, enhanced by the mirror-smooth water.
With my camera on a tripod, I waited patiently for the right moment: the blue hour. This short window between day and night provided exactly the atmosphere I was looking for, a perfect balance between brightness and warmth.
At home, I carefully post-processed the shot, paying attention to detail and colour. My goal was simple: to bring the experience I felt on the spot as close as possible to the viewer.
The result is a cityscape that shows the charm of Alkmaar in all its glory. An image that not only captures the beauty of the city, but also evokes a sense of tranquillity and timelessness. A unique addition to any wall that continues to captivate time and again.
