Night Lights. Der Aa-church, Groningen, The Netherlands
Originally a chapel stood here devoted to St Nicholas and the Virgin but in the later Middle Ages it was transformed into this huge church. The tower, though, dates form 1711/14. Two previous structures had been destroyed, the first by a fierce storm. The second fell down spontaneously possibly through the use of inferior construction materials. The ochre-yellow is the original color of the timbers of the tower applied during a restoration in the early 1980s.
