The 'Anglia Seaways' passing at a very short distance the shore of the peninsula Walcheren, Zeeland, The Netherlands, on a hazy day.
This image was taken by me standing on top of a sand dune, and it's my weekly entry for the Wednesday B&W challenge (BWC).

A nice view of the passing ship and a good one for the b/w challenge Cornelius.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
I actually thought that 'fence' leading into the water was a landing jetty at first!...lol
Nicely captured and the mono does look good here

This is superb Mr. C. I like the perspective that has been created, and the composition is perfect. tigs=^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
The perspective really shows the enormous size of the vessel compared to the people on the shore. An excellent capture from the top of the dunes Cornelius !
Thank you for submitting it to the BWC - on the list :)

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
At first glance, I thought this was a historical photo from the turn on the century. Great job, and good luck in the contest.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
My exact thought Alex!, it really looks like a turn of the century picture, great job Mr. C.

I like everything about this shot which feels perfectly suited to black and white. I just commented on two shots that were in landscape mode while everything about the shot felt like portrait mode was better suited. Not only should this be a landscape shaped shot, but I like that you included what is a fascinating foreground. While there are a few dog walkers, the bulk of the people seem to be enjoying the view of this massive ship.
In previous shot, I have noticed the poles in the sand that run perpendicular to the water. They are there for a good reason, but I can't fathom what the reason might be.

Dorothy, in Holland we call them 'golfbrekers' (wave breakers). The coastline area there is sensitive to the combination of the strong tidal flow and waves (in the storm season). The by you called 'poles' prevent corrosion of the beach/sand dunes. It's proven to be very effective.

I only just viewed this, WOW...A FAVORITE....what an incredibly perfect photo. The brilliant idea of this perspective gives you a total understanding of the size of this vessel. Excellent entry for the BWC.
