Wijk bij Duurstede – 13-05-19

I came to visit Wijk bij Duurstede, a small city near Utrecht and castle Duurstede is everything one can expect from a medieval castel: a moat, a keep and a perfect preserved round tower. I did not fine detail the tower in order to keep it at some distance and thus make it appear to be larger, taking Monet’s message (Rouen series) to heart.
