Zoetermeer’s water tower: a return in clear weather

I returned to Zoetermeer’s water tower after photographing it on a rainy day in 2015. This time, clear skies and a Sony A7R II with a Zeiss 16–35 mm lens gave the familiar subject a different appearance.

The tower, known as De Tien Gemeenten, was designed by C. Visser and built in 1927–1928. It stands as a reminder of the period when Zoetermeer was a much smaller town.

Finding a new viewpoint proved difficult because bushes blocked several angles. I ended up using similar compositions to the earlier visit, but the change in weather produced a very different mood.
