Description

Ameland is one of the 6 Wadden islands north of the Netherlands. The north side of the island is facing the open North Sea. In between Ameland and the mainland you find the Wadden sea; a paradise for birds. The Wadden Sea is a typical tidal zone area which turns into a mud-flat area with grooves and channels at low tide. The mainland you can see from the island. Ameland is a 26 Km (17 miles) long and 3 km (2 miles) wide, except for the western part which is slightly broader. There are a few little villages and you find a lot of little houses build between 1700 and 1800, still in a perfect condition, nowadays with modern comfort. The most important houses were owned by the commandeers

It is always incredible to see how nature provides designs and patterns. It is even more incredible to capture them. The sand the shore-line withe clouds following the contour, excellent.

Beautiful lighting and I just love those tidal designs. I prefer the beach when it's quiet too. Thanks so much for the info ... sounds like a wonderful place.
