Passer-by under the Koppelpoort in Amersfoort

by Amersfoort Fotoprint

❓ About this photo The Koppelpoort, after many years of faithful service, is still a rewarding entrance to the city centre. In black and white on an overcast day, this composition is perhaps even more atmospheric than with sunshine. ✏️ About Amersfoort Fotoprints As an avid photographer and proud resident of Amersfoort, I enjoy taking long walks through the city. It doesn't matter whether it's raining, snowing, windy, or the sun is shining. All conditions have something to offer. At least on a photographic level. As long as the light is interesting, I often walk the same round. I usually start at the Koppelpoort, and then walk via the Westsingel or the Breestraat to the Varkensmarkt or the Lieve Vrouwekerkhof. Then I cross Muurhuizen somewhere, to end at the Kamperbinnenpoort. Sometimes I even finish the round of Muurhuizen. From there, I walk back home, on De Kruiskamp. It has become a routine that mostly takes me to the same places, but still manages to surprise and bring me joy every time. Despite knowing the city well, it still harbours secrets for me. Although the corners in which these are hidden are getting smaller and smaller.
