The Storm Surge Barrier" (for further details, please check-out this link) is for the Zeeland, The Netherlands, people a kind of 'life insurance'. It has to prevent the inhabitants from disasters like this one.

Because of its huge size, I could only capture a part of it, but it's still impressive to me.

It's my entry for the 'Repeating Objects' contest.

If it saves lives...then it has my vote!....All estuaries and places where floods are a concern should have safety barriers!..

A great line which goes on into the far distance!..and a great entry too!

Your image of the Storm Surge Barrier is amazing and would be a great entry for the current contest Cornelius - I found the links that you provided so informative - we need something similar in Ocean City, NJ as the constant beach replenishment gets to be quite expensive - Excellent Capture and Good Luck!!!!!!!!

Great title and entry SEA. The links contained much information, albeit some of it catastrophic.
You captured it perfectly.

Very interesting narrative and links...horrible to be caught so unprepared...and comforting to know that protection is now in place.

The photo, itself, is great....clear focus and details and DOF..the barrier is very impressive extending far into the background. Also, this would make a great contest entry...it would have my vote.

Heavens, I'll bet this cost a few bucks. But, I'm sure it was worth the protection. Nicely captured.
