Before last Saturday, I had been in the city of Zutphen once before.

Back on that first visit, I stumbled upon this location, with these beautiful old buildings in the foreground and the Drogenapstoren in the background. However I couldn't do much with it photographically as you're facing the south, thus getting a lot of backlight. So I knew I could realistically only make this work either during the day on a cloudy day, or during nighttime.

This ended up being the driver for the photowalk I ended up doing last Saturday, and what better way to go full circle than to share that moment with some good friends?

“De Piramides” (the pyramids) is a residential complex on Jan van Galenstraat. Designed by S. Soeters and fully finished in 2006. In this frame you’re looking at the back of the two 50-meter triangular towers (housing 82 apartments). 🔼🔼

Inspired by Marcanti Island’s shape and 17th-century stepped gables, its brick facades loosely reflect the Amsterdam School style. It also serves as a noise buffer for the neighborhood behind it since the Jan van Galen (or s105) is a main entry road from the west side of town. 🚗🚕🚙🚙🚑🚛🛻🚒🚚🚙
