A quite spectacular late afternoon view over the polder area facing Vlaardingen and Maassluis.

 

On the horizon - at approximately 10 km - you can see wind turbines and giant offshore platforms bordering the Nieuwe Waterweg ("New Waterway"). This 20.5 km long shipping canal opened in 1872, and is still a main artery of the Port of Rotterdam.

 

I did quite some sliding on this one, and vividly remember the afterimages caused by trying to capture the right moment without the right eye protection 8-)

 

Happy Sliders Sunday!
