This photo shows a characteristic alley in the historic centre of Middelburg. The narrow street is surrounded by old brick walls, some of which show faded colours and signs of weathering, highlighting the long history of this place. On the right, you can see a weathered wall with some closed windows and doors, evoking a mysterious and almost deserted atmosphere. The alley leads the eye to an arched passageway that opens onto a small green garden, which contrasts nicely with the grey and brown tones of the bricks.
The upper floors of the surrounding houses show traditional architectural features, such as a roof with old red tiles and windows with white frames. The joints and bricks show traces of moss here and there, enhancing the authentic, unpolished character of the site. The lamppost on the left adds a touch of modernity without disturbing the historic atmosphere of the area. This alley exudes the timeless charm of Middelburg, where history and silence meet in the city's narrow streets.
