The Oudegracht is the best-known canal in the Dutch city of Utrecht. The approximately two-kilometre-long canal can be regarded as the connecting piece between the Kromme Rijn and the Vecht, and cuts through the entire city centre from south to north. For centuries, it has been the city's main artery. The system of wharves and wharf cellars of Utrecht's Oudegracht and Nieuwegracht is unique in the world on this scale.
This photo was shot on a windless Sunday evening in autumn, where it was serene and calm on this part of Utrecht's Oudegracht. An added bonus was the beautiful reflection in the water of the Oudegracht, which made this walk along the wharves all the more of a delight. Especially on the stretches where the trees have grown so close together that the immense foliage forms the sky.
An added bonus of the wharves along Utrecht's Oudegracht and Nieuwegracht is that you have beautiful vistas through the arches of the bridge for an extra nice view.
