Virtual Vertical Horizon (VI)
ꒌ ﹏﹏ 'ПОМЕРЕН’ излазак сунца. Виша стамбена зграда препречава поглед на хоризонт где је сунце изашло 9 минута пре овог снимка. Ово је моменат када сам угледао сунце кроз прозоре на углу зграде у пар станова на тој висини.
► █░▓ ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ SUNRISE from behind an artificial vertical 'horizon'. The condo tower blocks my view of the natural horizon at 123° where the sunrise took place at 8:11 on November 22nd. So I had to wait another 9 minutes until the sun first appeared through a condo window. It was worth waiting.
The prominent church tower exactly 2 km (1,24 mi) from my lens belongs to St. Nichola's or Holy Spirit chapel. The chapel has been pulled down in 1835 but they fortunately kept the facade and this tower. The premises served as a charity spot (bread handed out to poor) until the various protestant denominations alternately got hold of it. The municipality got involved in the maintenance too. However, in 2011. it was all over. This very old chapel in Arkelstraat became a fashion clothing store ("Van Zuilen Mode"). A trend which by the way stormed the churches in the Lowlands at the turn of the century.
Left behind the church tower, at 8,3 km (5,17 mi) as the crow flies FeedValid animal feed and waste recycling factory in Munnikenland. It is difficult to believe that the distance between the church tower and the factory exceeds 6 km! Such is the perspective flattening of the 800 mm full-frame equivalent. It would take at least half an hour ride by car to get there, if not more.
To the right of the church tower are the two arms of the grain windmill "De Hoop", 500 m behind the church tower, marking the edge of the town and the river shore. The full view of the windmill and the old town's heart is blocked by the roof of the local hospital.
Exactly 2 km behind the church tower is the point where the river Maas (Meuse, "Afgedamde Maas" there) joins the Rhein's strongest branch Waal. The junction is the reason for Rhein to acquire yet another name, "Boven Merwede", which shall after 9 km split into Beneden Merwede and Nieuwe Merwede.
