Strong composition with the lines and pieces of red through it......peaceful and pretty.

Looks to have a lot of community spirit there Mr C....
Wonderful beach panorama..tell me, what's that 'stripey' tower?...is it a watch station!!

Dit is toch wel even iets anders dan een 'kunstmatig strand'(lol) aan de Seine, in Parijs, Cornelius!
Leuke opname!

wow that is a wide lovely beach, i was wondering about that red stripey tower also!! i love the choppy waves here with the white tips! lovely shot! wish i was there!!

It looks FANTASTIC, like a beautiful painting!..GREAT shot ,my friend!...I understand your opinion about Paris beach...smile!!..:))..and I agree..:))

To Jan and Bob and all others who want to know about the stripey tower: The Western Scheldt is the approach to ports like Antwerp, Ghent and Flushing. The sealanes to the Western Scheldt have a very tricky character. This implicates that mates, chiefs and captains of vessels which have to make a port call to one of these ports, have to be very steady. In order to prevent accidents a lot of navigational aids were constructed. This 'lighthouse' is one of a pair. The other is placed somewhat higher and can't be seen at this image. The two 'lighthouses' act as such a navigational aid. During the night a light source in both of those two towers is emitting a continuous light. The helsman has to navigate the vesel coastwise in such a way that the upper light shall be seen straight under the lower light. The ship will so be guided through some dangerous areas. At day time nearly the same procedure can be used as the helmsman has to bring the lower tower optically under the upper tower. It can be even done on radar. I don't like to give you, however, this very technical explanation to prevent that I'm busy writing a nautical handbook (lol). The towers are called 'Lichtlijn' Kaapduin (lightline at Kaapduin) by nautical people. Once in the neighbourhood of Flushing a pilot will take over the navigation, but not the command, of the vessel. The captain stays responsible.
Really hope my explanation is clear to you. Regards, Cornelius

Het breedbeeld-formaat komt hiet uitstekend tot zijn recht bij dit uitstekend panorama.

great view over the whole beach :o)

Postcard perfect. Nice shot!

Thank you for the view and the explanation as well. Both are very clear!

A magnificent shot and narrative Cornelius.

Een heerlijke zomerse foto Cornelius ! en er is zeer veel detail te zien.
Wat me het meeste aansprak is het blauwe water !!! hier aan de kust, zoals bij scheveningen of zandvoort is het water altijd zwart tot vies bruin gekleurd.
Goed te zien dat het bij jou anders is. Zo hoort een zee er uit te zien en niet bruin grrrrrr. Prachtige foto.

I love all those colors in that picture and the lovely details. Your beach is just fantastic - like your capture of it.
