From the Vaults-50

If there is one thing that you can count on in the Netherlands it is the weather if not the weatherman, ha ha ha, joke aside though if one means that you can count on rain to appear when least expected then the weather is extremely dependable.

 

Our morning visit to Doesburg the first stop on our tour of cozy overlooked towns in and around the Arnhem region was a rather damp one with rain from the time we left the hotel until we departed this lovely Hanseatic town.

 

You may not always get the shots you planned for when shooting travel photography but you will usually get what you need to paraphrase a great song and this shot of a quiet corner café as the rain starts to let up was to me worth the slog through the wet streets.

 

Doesburg was once a prominent member of the Hanseatic league of towns and the guardian of the IJssel waterway trade routes that were strategic and particularly prosperous for Doesburg due to the solidarity of defense and trade the Hanseatic League wielded working together.

 

I took this on September 19th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 34mm 1/4s, f/11 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO
