A characteristic Dutch scene during the blue hour: Meppel's windmill towers stately above the historic buildings, while the last light of the day colours the sky in warm shades of yellow and purple. The windless moat perfectly mirrors the windmill, houses and bare trees, creating an almost symmetrical image. The tranquillity of the evening and the soft colours of the sky enhance the sense of stillness and timelessness. A photograph that captures the charm of the Dutch town of Meppel, with its rich heritage and picturesque waterways.
