Description
The fortifications of Bourtange, in the Dutch province of Groningen, which reached their largest extension in the mid-eighteenth century, were completely dismantled in the nineteenth century. Only in the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century, the fortifications were carefully reconstructed. Now, a quarter century later, Bourtange looks like the fortress has never been away.
The map of Bourtange is based on a pentagon. This form can also be found in the pavement on the town square. In the middle of the square we find a pentagon of paving bricks, surrounded by cobbles. From that pentagon this bolpanorama was created.
The panorama is composed of fifteen different photos and subsequently extensively edited in Photoshop to give it a picturesque atmosphere and appearance.
