From the Vaults-56
Deventer is an ancient city and also a quick learner, it only took one complete destruction of the settlement by the Vikings in 900 to convince the village that a pound of prevention was worth 2 pounds of cure and they devoted manpower and resources into securing the town with formidable city walls.
Its location on a key trade water way and ability to defend their piece of the trade route made Deventer an economic powerhouse throughout the middle ages.
The city is the original Hanseatic Town, it embodied strength through unity most likely from its traumatic 1rst experience with the Norsemen and its sincere wish not learn from past mistakes.
I didn’t spend as much time shooting in Deventer as I would normally take instead my time was better spent with my lovely wife enjoying some nibbles and beer/wine for a change, sometimes you just need to relax and smell the ambiance.
Captured here is a little scene from anywhere you want in the Netherlands I am not sure where in Deventer this is but it had the right elements for me to take this shot, let me know if you know anything interesting about the area, cheers.
I took this on September 19th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 28mm 1/8s, f/16 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO
