This B&W image shows the, in the 15th century built, 'Zuidhavenpoort' (South harbor gate) in Zierikzee. Zierikzee is a little town on the peninsula Schouwen-Duiveland, Zeeland, The Netherlands. The 'Zuidhavenpoort' is one of the ancient entries to Zierikzee.

It's my weekly entry for the Wednesday B&W challenge.

Excellent and sharp details in this Mr. C. and of course nothing in my country was built in the 15th century so that in and of it self is amazing to me!

A mechanical marvel from the 15th century! Imagination, brainpower and a desire to make life easier so many years ago. Beautifully presented in B/W, Cornelius.

Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")

I don't think there is anything in your part of the world that is not photogenic SEA.
You prove it with every photo.
B/W looks good.

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

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
