The Castle of Ham in the Belgian town of Steenokkerzeel.

This is an overview of the three parts that make up the whole castle complex. Too the left we see the conciergerie (service buildings), in the middle wecan see the main gate and one of the towers of the castle bailey. The towers of the bailey are actually much older than the rest of the castle and belong to a 12th century stronghold. Completely to the right we see the actual castle. An unusual structure, built around 1500 CE in the shape of a classic medieval castle keep, yet apparently a luxurious palace with little or no defensive powers.

As you can see it was really cloudy this day, but the sun often shone through the clouds, creating wonderfull lighting. In this case the conciergerie is lit by the sun while the castle itself is still in the shadows (in reality all buildings are the same hue)

Hello Johan,
Excellent capture, with nice "winter" colours and beautiful reflections. You got very well the little ray of sun on the castle and on the pound. Nice composition too.
Best regards,
Catherine

Great use of the lighting, shades and clouds to obtain these colours. A good POV allowed for a good composition, avoiding the traditional symmetry of the subject and its reflexion.
Good shot.
