This is the second and last image of a lighthouse which I captured on March 21th, 2009 near the village of Westkapelle, on the west point of the peninisula Walcheren, Zeeland, The Netherlands. Just half a mile backwards of this spot the sand dunes and the sea dike are shade off into one another. Recently the sea dike was partly renewed (made even higher) to give us a better protection against the sea as the land behind the sea dike is far below sea level. I was told that the light house once was on top of the old dike, so it gives a good impression of the size of the dike now.

It's a simple image, hope you like it anyhow. Thank you in advance for your comment.

The light brown of the sand makes a fine contrast to the light blue sky and both together make the red lighthouse very conspicuous. A very fine image, Cornelius.

Wonderfully composed. Especially enjoy your perspective, the water in the background and incline of the land. Thank you for sharing it.

Well, at least you have some lighthouses around your area. I don't think there is a lighthouse in the entire state where I live. Good one.

A house built on sand........lol. I'm surprised that it stood the test of time. It must have a very deep foundation. Wonderful clarity, Cornelius. So nicely composed too.
