Maastricht is a city and a municipality in the southeastern Netherlands. It is the capital and largest city of the province of Limburg. Maastricht is located on both sides of the Meuse, at the point where the Jeker joins it. Mount Saint Peter is largely situated within the city's municipal borders.

The story

Next weekend will be very busy – visiting Vive la Fête again and combining it with a photo journey in Antwerp and Brussels. I didn’t want to leave you guys without any photography updates, so I decided to take a quick stroll through a sunny but icy-cold Maastricht. I used a recipe loaded into the Ricoh GR III that simulates a vintage print look.

Booch?, Heerlen 🇳🇱

Booch? is a free two-day music festival that has been held annually in the center of Heerlen, Netherlands, since 1998, attracting around 20,000 visitors per edition.
After the seventeenth edition in 2014, Booch? disappeared from the festival calendar due to financial issues. However, the festival made a return in 2023 after an eight-year hiatus.
