A short walk on a special location; fortress Vechten

Today I made a short but very interesting walk. I had subscribed to a seminar of an IT product we're using. It was the first time I was attending a live event since the pandemic started over two years ago.
The venue where this event was located was very special. It was organised in a former Dutch fortress; fort Vechten near Utrecht.

Usually these kinds of events are organised in boring office buildings, so this was rather interesting.

As I mentioned it was a small walk from where I parked my car to the room where the event was.
Walking over the parking I noticed there was another event at the fortress. Tens of Citroën 2CV's where parked there.

The fortress is surrounded by water. They used to surround fortresses by shallow water so it was unable to reach with a heavy boat and difficult to reach on foot.
The water now was quite dirty. I think because it hasn't been raining for a while.

They have placed a bridge to the fortress and made an opening in the wall so visitors can enter the fortress easily. The stick man reminded me about the status of Jesus statue in Rio, Brasil.

You can see the width and the height of the walls of the fortress.

On the inside you can see the different chambers of the fortress and see that it exists of multiple layers.

And still I didn't arrive at the final destination. At the other end of the fortress I had to go through a long tunnel. The lights in the floor and on the walls gave a cool effect. I turned this one into a black and white photo.

At the other side of the tunnel there was a place where we could get coffee and do some networking. I took the time to take a last shot of the pond there.

Photographing is my passion. Although I like photography in general, nature photography is one of my favourite subjects. I often go out with my camera for a hike to capture the beauty of nature.
I'm sharing my photos on Hive, Noise.Cash & APPICS.
I would love to read what you think of my photos in the comments.

Watch out for the human traffickers at hivefest. You wont know it until its too late. STAY AWAY! Beware, traffickers can be women or men! They will act nice until they dont. There is human trafficking going on around this type of crypto. I have witnessed it. They literally have attempted my murder and are trying to kill me with V2K and RNM. Five years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem if you run into one of them you may want to immediately shoot them in the face. 187, annihilate, asphyxiate, assassinate, behead, bleed, bludgeon, boil, bomb, bone, burn, bury, butcher, cap, casket, choke, chop, club, crucify, crush, curb, decapitate, decimate, deflesh, demolish, destroy, devein, disembowel, dismember, drown, electrocute, eliminate, end, euthanize, eviscerate, execute, explode, exterminate, extinguish, finish, fry, grind, guillotine, gut, hack, hang, hit, ice, implode, incinerate, kill, liquidate, lynch, massacre, maul, microwave, mutilate, neutralize, obliterate, off, pop, poison, punnish, quarter, ruin, shank, shock, shoot, shred, skin, slay, slaughter, smoke, smother, snipe, snuff, squish, stab, strangle, stone, suffocate, suicide, SWAT, swing, terminate, torture, terrorize, whack, waste, wreck.

I have attended many IT events over the years, but never in such a beautiful area, OK I did go to a couple o]in Las vegas, which was fun but tacky.
but the beauty in this fort and its surrounding is awesome

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)
