Towering Legacy
This vertical composition emphasizes the imposing height and architectural strength of Amersfoort's medieval Koppelpoort. The portrait format accentuates the upward reach of this 14th century defensive structure, drawing the eye from the water's mirrored surface to the commanding towers above. Standing sentinel between city and water, the Koppelpoort reveals its intricate stone details and historical significance through this perspective. My photography aims to highlight how these vertical elements communicate both protection and civic pride in Dutch architectural heritage.
