Toren van het Huis Loowaard te Duiven 1907

This photograph, 'Toren van het Huis Loowaard te Duiven', presents a quiet scene, captured by an anonymous photographer from Monumentenzorg, where the process feels almost as visible as the subject itself. The tower emerges through foliage, rendered in shades that suggest a world of greys, sepia, and muted light. The texture of the image, particularly in the bark of the trees, hints at the alchemic darkroom process. Look at the way the light catches the edges of the building to the left of the tower, it reminds me of the play between light and shadow in a charcoal sketch. It's the kind of image that invites you to slow down, to notice the subtleties within a limited palette. Like a Morandi painting, the magic lies in the tones and the process of image-making, a testament to the beauty found in the everyday, seen through the lens of time.
