Diverse Reflections 2

This is the second image of a small series. I have taken images of different subjects, but all with the primary goal to show you diverse reflections. This image shows some reconstructed ancient Zeeland wooden fishing boats. These boats were built at the end of the 19th century, begin 20th century, and are recently reconstructed to keep them for historical reasons (as a kind of 'living monument'). During the reconstruction a small propulsion engine was built in as well, only for safety purposes (emergency propulsion). Nowadays these 'living monuments' are used for leisure/pleasure sailing rides on lakes in Zeeland. Sailing will keep them in a better condition rather than to give them only a passive role.

Hope you'll like this image. Thanks in advance for your comment.

Great shot, Cornelius! I love the nice reflections, but I prefer the boats. LOL They are so beautiful, pleasant, just for pleasure sailing.

It is nice to see history being kept up with restorations!...The past seems to offer better subjects than all these 'modern' subjects eh!

Good one to keep up with mate

It is good they restore these beauties from the past Sea. If only they could do that to us. :)
Clarity is wonderful and the reflections are perfect. It appears people just come down to relax and enjoy the views.
Good health to you and yours.

The reflections are lovely but I find the boats and all their strange gear more attractive.

Het is bekend dat Nederlanders respect hebben voor hun geschiedenis.Dat merk je in iedere stad of dorp.Ook deze vissersboten zijn vakkundig gereconstrueerd.Goed dat je ons even laat meegenieten van deze mooie platbodems,Cornelius.Is trouwens perfect in beeld gebracht.

Your harbor shots are always so crisp and clear. You almost feel as if you are there just by looking at the capture.
