Dramatic skies, I love them! Sunday early in the evening on an August day, the island of Vlieland beckoned us for a visit to the beach. The others went for a swim, I took in this majestic interplay of clouds, colour and light. In the distance you can see some rain showers pouring down. Luckily,ContinueContinue reading “Come closer”

A big sandbox
The Dutch coast, a big sandbox bathing in sunlight. It’s such a nice area to soak up some salty air and feel the wind in your face. I love how on these photos the sand contrasts with the blue skies and darker cloudy haze in the distance. I believe I took these pictures a few yearsContinueContinue reading “A big sandbox”

During my weekend away on the Dutch island of Vlieland, I walked around the harbour area and enjoyed theContinueContinue reading “Water’s edge”
Lines on the horizon
It only makes sense that there are so many seagulls on an island. While they’re not my favourite birds, they are simply part of any coastal area in the country. Many were having a rest on shore near the helicopter platform. Perhaps taking a break from flying into strong winds? 😉
Island ingredients: wind, salty air, clouds and sun
Last weekend I spent a few days on the beautiful island of Vlieland. I’d never been to one of the Dutch islands before, so I was excited to go! I went over because a friend and her husband were going to run half a marathon (crazy sporty people! 🙂 ) and I would cheer them on!ContinueContinue reading “Island ingredients: wind, salty air, clouds and sun”
