I took this photo on the Boulevard of Harderwijk where there is a new harbour. The bridge in the photo is one of the 2 bridges that cross this new harbour, it is a drawbridge that is operated remotely from the harbour office. This drawbridge is called Dolfinarium Bridge and therefore goes to the Dolphinarium Island where the famous marine mammal park is also located. As you can see, this bridge also has lighting on the sides, which are actually lines of LED lights. You can also see a piece of the former forcible castle that was later used after demolition to look over the Zuiderzee, it is nowadays also called the Kiekmure. It is also part of the city wall. This photo is an HDR consisting of 5 photos with different exposures that I merged into 1 photo afterwards. Because of the different exposures and long shutter speeds, I put my camera on a tripod.
