The Siege of Tilburg (The Netherlands)

Weeks ago, not only the news, but the war itself reached us. I was just able to leave Tilburg on time and right now I can only hear the violence. Nevertheless, I still feel connected to the city and I try to pay a visit as often as possible. But with all the soldiers, citizen soldiers, rebels, police, security, UN, and so on, it’s not exactly easy to get to the city.

A few weeks ago I was able to shoot a picture of the Westpoint-tower in Tilburg. At the moment I took the photograph, there was a terrible explosion at the Heuvel (city-center/downtown). Soldiers and journalists told me it was a terrible scene. At the moment it is too dangerous to get there, but I will soon try to get nearer and take photo’s.
