Friday was my birthday, and after a lovely evening out for drinks and dinner, we took a quick walk around parts of town before the rain came. Well, mostly before the rain came. I’m incapable of avoiding the Domplein, so of course I headed over to see what kinds of photos I could get. I got lucky with the lighting.
There’s nothing like a Gothic cathedral and bell tower backlit by a red sky at night! Fabulously spooky!

A belated ‘Van harte gefeliciteerd!’ and a big compliment for those magnificent pictures!
Dankjewel!
Great photos!
Wonder if the gargoyles were out and about in the night.
Happy Birthday!!
We did see some little bats. They were probably the little dragons from the fountain!
The second picture is extra spooky. I feel like an unseen someone is peeking down from the bell tower… whoooo! 😀
Great pics. And happy belated birthday, Alison!
Happy birthday! Lovely photos!
Happy Birthday wishes Alison and what great night shots – fabulous! I love the grey light creeping over the roof in the first one, the rest follow on beautifully!
