Oudegracht in Utrecht between Geertebrug and Vollersbrug. The approximately two-kilometre-long Oudegracht can be seen as the connecting piece between the Kromme Rijn and the Vecht and cuts through the entire city centre. For centuries, it was used as a supply and disposal route for merchandise and building materials. The canal water was used for all kinds of production processes, such as beer brewing, and building locks in 1275 gave the water level a constant low level. Storage cellars of houses were extended under the streets to the canal and new quays were built before these cellars. This created the typical wharves and wharf cellars. This process was complete in the 15th century. This photo was taken at dusk on 20 June 2019, Dark Utrecht. This is the name of my series of photos of Utrecht places after sunset. Most Dark Utrecht photos were shot at dusk. https://donkerutrecht.nl/
