Late evening in the center of Utrecht.
The building in the center is 112 meters high Domtoren ( Cathedral tower ). Built in 14th century (between 1321 and 1382) it's still the tallest building in Utrecht.
This symbol of the city of Utrecht stands on the spot where the city originated 2000 years ago, now Dom Square.
In the old days the tower was only two meters from the main nave of the Dom Church. However, after a hurricane which blew away half of the city in 1674, the nave collapsed and the tower was separated from the church. The Dom Tower was a multifunctional building. In addition to being a belfry, it was used as the private chapel and bastion of the archbishop of Utrecht. It also served as the watchtower and house for the tower guard.
The photo was taken at 21:41, with the following settings:
ISO 200, lens zoomed to 17 mm,
F/8, 4 sec exposure - camera was set to Aperture Priority mode with +0.7 EV exposure compensation.
I attempted to fix lens distortion and correct vertical perspective in post-processing, as photo was taken using very small (about 20 cm high) tripod placed on the ground.
