The small town of Dendermonde, 12 miles outside of Ghent, has borne the weight of frequent invasions over the centuries. All was quiet, however, on the evening we visited its ancient buildings. The golden color of the sky and the repeating slender silhouettes in this image define this charming town’s style and cheerfully defy its bloody history. The color and shapes bring an optimistic and nostalgic mood to this image. It almost looks as if this is a whimsical set for a children’s movie. A closer look brings a bonus – a pigeon is resting (or nesting) on one of the five chimneys in this image.
