I took this photo on Staverden estate near Ermelo in the Veluwe. The viewpoint I used for this photo is the one you see many people use when they want to photograph the Staverden estate.

Staverden is also called the white peacock bridge, further down the estate there are a number of white peacocks. To take this photo, I put my camera on a tripod and took 5 photos with different exposures and afterwards merged them into 1 well-exposed photo. I chose to take this photo standing up so you can see more of the height of the tree to the right of the building.
