Prague at Night

In 2009 I visited Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic and took some nice pictures. This beautiful city of Prague is certainly worth a visit. There is a lot to see and the city has a nice flair. In my Gallery of Prague you can mainly find some photographs taken during the blue hour and the beginning of the night. For example, the Old City Square, Tyn Cathedral, the Old Townhall, Charles Bridge and much more.

Watermill Baalsbrugge at Night

Here you can see some pictures of the Baalsbruggermolen in Kerkrade I took during the blue hour and at night. This mill is located along the river the Worm, a small river at the border between the Netherlands (Kerkrade / Haanrade) and Germany (Herzogenrath / Merkstein). This watermill was owned by the Abbey Rolduc until the beginning of the 19th century (here some pictures taken at the Abbey Rolduc).

Rolduc during the blue hour

Conferentieoord Rolduc
Rolduc is situated in Kerkrade, southern part of the Netherlands. History goes back to 1104. For a long time it was used as an abbey, nowadays it is used as a seminary. Beyond that it’s a place for conferences. And there are located a hotel, a restaurant and a café.

For me it is an ideal place to take pictures. Some of them I like to present here at my homepage.

Almost night at Rolduc.
