Even without first seeing the photo, I knew it would be special from the word sunset!

You have the most exquisite sunsets I’ve seen & I look forward to each one. The interesting details give life to the bygone days & I can imagine the busy seaport it must have been.

A beautiful Island Story! Thank you.

Sunsets are usually the most beautiful part of the day. You captured one that surely was. Wonderful history of that part of the Netherlands again. Thanks.

I can see why you would watch the sunset from the top of the dunes. Are these the really high ones you mentioned before? I would have be drawn to the ocean myself (it's a Swiss thing), but I would have missed out on those beautiful colors that you managed to capture so well. Those greens really make the picture. Thank you for sharing!

I love that early settlement story as well. Reminded me of Bodie in California that was declared a ghost town in 1915, but had a population of between 7000 and 10000 in 1879.

A lovely view, while my mind wanders off into the setting Suns' rays.

Thinking deeply about a thriving community swallowed by the Sea. Strolling on the remaining beach looking for objects the Sea may spit out again today.

Super photo (-:
