Utrecht bij nacht
View allAll Photos Tagged Utrecht
Some photographers wax lyrically the virtues of the sunset while others profess their love for the dawn of the new day, I think the reality of it is whether you are a morning person or not.
For myself sleeping in is 6am so my preference by default is the early morning light but also for myself I like the peace and solitude dawn brings to an otherwise busy location allowing you to really soak in the local flavor.
Similarly for me I like to see how and where the people live in the lands I visit not just what they have on display for tourists but a little peek behind the curtain so to speak.
This shot is of a residential area in Utrecht that I felt combines both ideals for me the early morning light and the places less visited giving the scene a peaceful easy feeling and a slice of Utrecht life.

Although most of what I post is from abroad, I frequently take pictures around home, but never have the time to show. This one here is close to home. In a city like Utrecht it is hard to imagine you can find these places, but it is one of its charmes. Rural impressions.
