This image was taken on September 11th, 2015 in the sand dunes on the northwest coast of the peninsula Walcheren, Zeeland, The Netherlands.

In the narrative of this image I've told you that I was on my way to Domburg. You can see that I've almost reached my destination.

Domburg is a village which is adjacent to one of the beaches of Walcheren. In the summertime it's crowded with, mainly Belgian and German, tourists. Then it is cozy to stay there. When the tourist season is over, it's rather boring there.

I imagine there is no shortage of fresh seafood in Domburg. Thanks for providing a mini-photo journal of your ventures on September 11th, Cornelius. Beautiful landscapes and shorelines.

Domburg looks to be like a small town that I would love to visit even in the "off season" - so charming and quaint and quiet - Beautifully captured Cornelius!!!!! p.s. curious to know what is that tall structure on the right - a lighthouse perhaps?

A interesting view of the area. It looks like a fun place to visit. What is the tower on the right? You captured a lovely scenic view of the area. I enjoy these type of images.

Referring to my 'Domburg' post, I like to answer the by Laura (jerseygurl), Bob (Dunstickin), and Russ (heidlerr) put forward question/remark about the structure/tall stone tower on the right of this image.

It's a water tower. The tower was built in 1933 and is 28.5 meters high and has a storage capacity of 200 m3.

The water comes from the nature reserve 'Oranjezon', in the sand dunes north of Domburg. The water is filtered by a natural process and than it's transported, via a pumping station, to the tower. The water tower put pressure on the water in the pipes into people's homes.
The tower is a national monument and is privately owned. Therefore it's not open to visitors. In World War II the tower was severely damaged, and some of the damage is still visible. The color of the upper part of the tower is obtained from the oxidized copper roof slabs.

Beautiful little town and that biggest house/building on the left is so wonderful, really like the way the sun is creating a curling shadow of the outside stairs on the brick. What a gorgeous beach beyond and also see a big sailboat on the horizon in the center.
