Stadthuisbrug (bridge that serves as a town square) in central Utrecht.
Utrecht is an old city in the Netherlands that originated as a Roman castellum. It used to stand on the Rhine, which has since changed course. The main (or at least the most noticeable) architectural feature of the city center is the Dom Tower, seen here in the background. It used to be part of the main St. Martin's Cathedral. But now it stands detached, overshadowing the much diminished cathedral, since its nave collapsed in 1674.
She is a queen who defends her throne,
In the midst of chaos and confusion.
She rules her court with pride and power,
And watches over every scrap and clutter.
Some may find her unfamiliar or alienating,
But those who see her strutting through her courtyard,
Quickly realise her true glamour and charisma,
And that she is a queen, a queen of trash, like no other.

Elst, Utrecht, The Netherlands.

Sometimes you have travel very far during very early hours to arrive where you want to capture the morning and sometimes you have to just stumble out of your hotel with a coffee in one hand and gear in the other.
Pictured here is a view of Janskerkhof one morning and my hotel was just up from the people standing on the right the NH Utrecht Centre, a great location, a great hotel and only 400m from the Dom Tower really very cozy.
This area to the right is home to the Janskerk (John’s Church) which has been around since 1054 it also holds one of the best plant markets in the city on Saturday
mornings it also doubles as a favorite spot for students to bike park every day.
