Utrecht an excellent photogenic city, one of the oldest in our country, you may have noticed that i posted quite a few images here of Utrecht, even yesterday since i had met with friends.
Good luck.

I'll take a look, Fons! So I guess from your words that you will not join?

Utrecht is a 2 or 2.5 hours drive away.
Loosely interested, it will depend on date and details, ie starting time.

Great! You clearly know Utrecht. Perhaps you have some suggestions for the walk by then? I've been there too but never specifically for photography.

Thanks, Fons. My thought was to meet in CS. If you have any recommendations wrt the walk, interesting spots, lunch, please let me know (perhaps via email). I've been inUtrecht multiple times but I do not live there. So recommendations are welcome, also from others.

Post by: Bruno Schroder on February 14, 2016, 18:17:27
Duly noted. Following Fons suggestion, I'll drive to a parking and take a bus or train to enter the city.
Where should we meet and at what time?
Title: Re: Netherlands - GtG/Photowalk in Utrecht?
Post by: Jakov Minić on February 14, 2016, 18:23:44
Let's meet at the central station. I am open to all times...

The idea is indeed to meet there. I thought around 11-11:30 because of the travel time of Bruno, Thomas and Harry.
Does that work? Or is too late (or early)?
Title: Re: Netherlands - GtG/Photowalk in Utrecht?
Post by: Thomas G on February 14, 2016, 18:56:42
11-11:30 is ok.
By the way: Does someone know if there are public charging spots available for the car?
Title: Re: Netherlands - GtG/Photowalk in Utrecht?
Post by: HCS on February 14, 2016, 20:07:21
11 it is then, i'll meet you guys over there!
Title: Re: Netherlands - GtG/Photowalk in Utrecht?
Post by: Bruno Schroder on February 14, 2016, 21:04:31
Great.  11:00 is ok for me too.
Title: Re: Netherlands - GtG/Photowalk in Utrecht?
