Gorinchem – A Walk Through Time
Yesterday, I explored the fortified city of Gorinchem with a good friend — a return to a region I recently visited near Slot Loevestein. This time, we wandered through the historic city center, where traces of the past still stand proudly: ancient windows, brickwork shaped by time, and windmills that defy the modern skyline.
Despite the scars of World War II, Gorinchem has preserved many of its old buildings — a living archive of Dutch resilience and craftsmanship. I brought both my Canon 7D Mark II with the 15–85mm lens and my 5D Mark III with the Sigma 100–400mm lens to capture these quiet witnesses of history.
This small compilation begins with a humble window — aged wood, weathered glass — a detail that reminded me how beauty often lies in the overlooked. In a world that moves fast, cities like Gorinchem offer a chance to slow down and really see.
