Haarlem by night

Waterpump in "Proveniershuis hofje" in Haarlem. Former communal houses for the elderly, a system dating back to the end of the middle ages. A predecessor of the modern old people's home.

Actually, this was a difficult to get shot. I needed to balance/hold my notebook at the top of the lens, to keep an intense lamp out of the frame and avoid flare...

Not entirely sure about the end result... the shadows in the bottom could maybe have been more engaging if they were a little less random, just bordered by the lamps frame... and maybe I need to dodge the whole thing just a little... but what do you think?
