This little ancient shipyard in the tiny town of Arnemuiden, Zeeland, the Netherlands is the home base for the 'Stichting Behoud Hoogaars' (SBH), a foundation runned by volunteers to reconstruct and or repair ancient Dutch wooden fishing boats. When I took this image it was 5 years ago that the 'SBH' became the official rights to run this ancient shipyard. This lustrum was celebrated with all kind of activites. This image may give you an impression of that event.
Hope you'll like it. Thanks in advance for your comment.
PS: the black boat (in the middle of this image) was built on this shipyard in in 1878!

Beautiful shot Cornelius! I love everything related to the sea and ships.

Referring to this quote from Bob's comment above: "I notice on the lower right shore...is a tented covering..is that a place for having a coffee?", I like to answer his question:
Asking for 'having a coffee' instead of something else, shows that you're a very humble man Bob, but I have to disappoint you to a certain extent. It's the covered 'wreck' of an old fishing boat ready to undergo its reconstruction. In one of the buildings (not to be seen at this image) cold drinks were served, Cheers, lol!
Regards, Cornelius

There must be quite a demand for such boats for the shipyard to be in business. You have shown us those reconstructed boats before, I remember. Interesting and beautiful image Cornelius.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Nicely photographed and framed with natural greenery Cornelius. Reminds me of my old wooden fishing boat and the labor intensive hours of maintenance I spent on her.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
Beautiful light and composition Cornelius and appreciate the informative narrative :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Mr.C. You did a very nice job on this one, and how wonderful that they bring those oldies back to life. Kudos to their hard work, and your fine image. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
This is stunningly beautiful, Mr. C. I love the angle, colors, the framing with the leaves, and the windmill in the distance. The boats look fantastic too, and I think I will come to Holland to buy one and then sail it all the way back home. LOL.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Dit is inderdaad wel een feestje waard, en het is je gelukt om er een buitengewoonlijke feestelijke opname van te maken
Volgende lustrum wel graag een kopje koffie, Cornelius....LOL !

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Wonderful vantage point for this shot Mr. C. I love the inclusion of the windmill - it gives a nice sense of place.

Wonderful shot, Cornelius...lots of interest, variety of color, character and great perspective.

Dear Customer Service: First of all, you should know I am typing this with my middle finger...
I love looking round restoration centres like this even though I'm the least handy and practical man alive. An excellent image Cornelius.

"Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people." W.C. Fields. So I bet you'll go over to see My Gallery.
Marvelous shot and really like the leaves are a natural framing. Truly is a beautiful & colourful sight of all those boats, super composition and threatening sky
