I took this photo in the old centre of Harderwijk. The square I was standing on was the Smeepoortenbrink, a small but fairly quiet square with some nice buildings in the centre of Harderwijk where people used to trade. This photo is an HDR consisting of 5 different photos with different exposures that I merged afterwards. When I took the 5 photos for this HDR, the weather was beautiful, you can see it in the blue sky.

The little gate you see is a passage towards Kloosterplein, it is also called the paradise gate. The trees are lime trees that they do prune every year before most of the leaves fall to the ground.
