Enschede....
Yesterday wednesday December 27th I met two TL-friends Janneke [jan] and Marcel [Mas] in my town of birth Enschede. We decided to go for a nocturnal photo shoot. This is one of the pictures taken that evening, the Dutch Reformed church at the Oude Markt (Old Market). This was the first spontanious organised (Thanks Marcel en Janneke)Treklens Meeting Twente as far as I'm concerned a total succes. So now we are planning a Twente Treklens Meeting with more participants. Next year I will invite all TL-members to come to my native town to have a big TL-Twente photo shoot!

PS-talk:
Only cropped and framed. Thats all for this time folks!


Enschede or Eanske in the local dialect (Twents) is a municipality and a city in the eastern Netherlands, in the province of Overijssel, in the Twente region. The municipality of Enschede consisted of the city of Enschede until 1935, when the rural municipality of Lonneker, which completely enclosed the city was annexed after the rapid industrial expansion of Enschede, which had begun in the 1860's and involved the building of railways and the digging of the Twentekanaal.
The early history of Enschede is largely unknown, but a settlement existed around the Old marketplace in early medieval times. The name of this settlement is mentioned as Anescede or Enscede meaning either "near the border" (with Bentheim) or "near the Es" and sported a church, a marketplace and a fortified aristocratic house.

Enschede was granted city rights in 1325 by Jan van Diest, the Bishop of Utrecht and henceforth was allowed to protect itself with wall. Since a stone wall was too expensive (Stone had to be imported) Enschede had a system of ditches, palisades and hedges instead, which is still reflected in the street-names Noorder-hagen and Zuiderhagen (North Hedge and South Hedge, respectively). The city plan of this era is still recognisable in the street-pattern.


Fire
Since the medieval city was largely built of wood and stone houses were the exception, fire was a constant risk and a series of fires 1517, 1750 and again on May 7, 1862 earned the people from Enschede the nickname Brandstichters (arsonists). (Text Wikipedia)

hello Hans,
interesting low-light colours..
There is almost a slight overexposure on the lower part of the building on the right but no big deal.

Best regards, Daniel
