On the Havendijk in Gorinchem, there was a quiet, wintry atmosphere. It was still dark, just before sunrise, and a thin layer of fog lay above the water of the canal. Along the quay, a few boats stood still, softly lit by the warm glow of street lamps and ship lights.
The combination of the cold blue-grey of the morning and the warm artificial light added depth to the image. The fog muffled sound and visibility, making everything feel quieter and more compact. Reflections in the water completed the picture - subtle, but full of atmosphere.
What attracted me was how city and nature come together here: the old stone quay, the still water, the boats and the light. No crowds, just a quiet moment in a city slowly waking up.
Where would you see this atmospheric harbour image hanging - at home, in the office, or perhaps in a reception area?

Havendijk - Gorinchem, South Holland
A characteristic part of the historic fortified town of Gorinchem, overlooking the canal, boats and old quay walls. Especially early in the morning in winter, the atmosphere here is special.
