Contours
The Terschelling drowning house used to be a rescue operation for stranded skippers on the eastern part of the island. The castaways could then shelter in this house in bad weather. It was a very crucial place, as the sea around Terschelling could and can be very rough, so it was very common that there were shipwrecks in this area. The stranded sailors could spend the night in the house until the storm passed.
This photo was taken after a lonely and long walk on the Boschplaat in the evening. There are also tours to this place, but it doesn't do justice to the scenery when there are busloads of people wandering around. Going alone also had the advantage that there is more time to walk around and take more pictures from different angles.
