I took this photo on Staverden estate near Ermelo in the Veluwe, it is one of many estates in the Veluwe. In this photo you can see the main building of the Staverden estate, which used to house noblemen. The building as some of the outbuildings are plastered white, because the photo is in sepia, the building looks a bit more yellow than it really is. I myself was standing on 1 of the sightlines that is present on the estate. As you can see, there are mainly deciduous trees and rhododendrons on this estate. On the paths that you see goes a hiking trail. When I took this photo it was on of autumn so there were no leaves on the trees. This photo is an HDR photo consisting of 3 photos with different exposures and afterwards merged into 1 well-exposed photo, I had therefore put my camera on a tripod. I converted this photo to sepia so it looks older, Staverden estate is an estate that exists for a couple of centuries.
