This is a blue hour I took in one of the cities in the southern part of the Netherlands. The town name means 'mouth of the Roer'. The Roer is a small river that winds its way from the Eifel plateau via Germany, and ends up in the Meuse just after passing the church tower in the photo. Getting the reflection was not easy as a group of ducks were convinced that I was going to throw food at them from the bridge, and kept turning circles just in my field of view.
