I took this evening photo in the Hanseatic city of Zutphen. When I took the photo it was already quite dark as you can see. By using a long shutter speed and tripod I was able to take this photo The tower is the Wijnhuistoren and is located between the Groenmarkt and the Houtmarkt. Zutphen is one of the Hanseatic cities, hence there are 2 markets. The building attached to the Wijnhuistoren currently houses a catering business. When I took this photo it was just before Christmas, hence the tree. By the way, the bright point next to the tower in the sky is just the moon and not an illuminated object, it looks so in the photo that there is a beam of light from a spotlight going towards it. I was glad it was windless otherwise the lights in the tree would have moved.
