on a beautiful summer evening , july 3th 2016 , I shot this photo during a peaceful windfree blue hour evening. It was pretty clear wheater so the colors were pretty deep blue.
The Eastern Gate (Oostpoort) is the only city gate staying in Delft, in the Dutch province of South Holland. The others were destroyed in the 19th century. This Gate is a good example of Brick Gothic northern European architecture, which is developed around 1400. Around 1510 the towers were improved with an extra octagonal flooring and high steeples.
The Oostpoort includes a water gate and a land gate that are linked by remains of a city wall.
Today the structure is utilized as an art gallery and a home.
The surrounding Oostpoortbrug dates from 1514 and, like eviction itself, is likewise a national monument.
In Huis ten Bosch amusement park in Japan, you can discover a reproduction of the Oostpoort and the surrounding drawbridge.
