A Foggy Night

The building in the centre of the image is called "De Waag". It is a weigh house on the Brink in the innercity of a historic part of Deventer. It is the oldest weigh house in The Netherlands that is being considered as such.

 

 

The style is late gothic with three stories, a stairs tower, a bell tower and three smaller towers. It was built from 1528 until 1531. In 1643 a late manieristic terrace was built with three pillars. It was used as a weigh house until 1862, after which (among others) a school was situated. From 1915 the building housed the musuem of municipal history, which was closed in 2014.

 

I always wanted to photograph this impressive building at night. On this particular night it was very foggy, which added a surreal mood to the location.

 

A b&w image cinematically transformed with some color.

 

Press "F" if you like it.
