This colonnade is part of the Citypalace The Markiezenhof in Bergen op Zoom. This palace was built in 1485.

View On Black and in larger size.

Originally a gothic palace built in honor of the marquis of Bergen op Zoom. Nowadays it's mainly a sight for tourists.

I tried to emulate some style elements from Vermeer.

This church looks absolutely stunning, both outside as inside. Took a quick HDR of the interior... There were many people inside so I wasn't able to set up my tripod and camera where I wanted. The light looked beautiful, but I bet it looks even more stunning when the sun shines through those windows... I think I'll have to come back some time.

Same basilica now converted to BW. I like this one better than the color version.
