Colours of Groningen,  Netherlands
Reitdiephaven, Groningen
by Adelheid Smitt

The colourful houses of the Reitdiephaven in the city of Groningen, are a very popular Dutch photo location, and so I wanted to give it a try also. I love those colours, and after some extremely windy days, it was surprising to have such calm and reflective waters. It was nice to meet up with fellow photographer Marga Vroom for this shoot.
