Schoonhoven - Het Zilverstad
Schoonhoven, nestled on the banks of the River Lek is the smallest municipality in The Netherlands. On a chilly but sunny Sunday last week a group of like-minded photographers set about wandering the town on an excursion organised by PhotographySchool.nl with whom I am a guest instructor. The historical town is known for it's silver smiths (it's nickname is "Zilverstad" or "Silver City") and clock makers.

Our hoped for sunset did not arrive as the skies completely clouded over but there was plenty of movement by this point to make it worth while taking the Lee Big Stopper out for my image of the lock between the harbour and Lek river!
