The mouth of “Rio Martino” at sunset. The Pontine Plain is crossed by a lot of canals made for the reclamation of these lands formerly swampy. Flowing to the sea were created small navigable bays.
In 1416, the Dirksland polder was reclaimed as the first polder in present-day Overflakkee. This makes the village of the same name the oldest village on Overflakkee. Dirksland is a ring polder, a fact clearly visible on maps and aerial photographs. The most important and also the oldest building in Dirksland is the church. The churchyard, with its largely still-extant church moat, enhances the church's monumental character. Voostraat is the main street of the village, where the village notables once lived. The harbors for the supply and discharge of goods were of great importance to the villages on Goeree-Overflakkee. Dirksland used to have a harbor directly on the water, but due to various land reclamations, the harbor had to be continually extended. As a result, Dirksland now boasts a harbor no less than 5.5 kilometers long. A lock, the Sas van Dirksland, was built at the end of the harbor in 1790. In 1970, the harbor was closed as part of the Delta Works. The Dirksland lock has since been completely renovated. When driving past Dirksland on the N215, the Dirksland water tower is particularly striking. It has long been out of use.

This picture shows the church of the village Sexten/Sesto in Südirol/Alto Adige during sunrise. I tried to take this picture several times but most days I have been there fog was raising from the valley right before sunrise. This fog was covering the mountains in the most periode of the sunrise. But finally i got a day without the fog and I was able to take this picture.
Near home a nice place where you can wait for the sunrise. Mirador Punta Comisaria in Taliarte, (Gran Canaria Canary Islands). A shot before sunrise in the “blue hour”. Waves and seagulls are the soundtrack …
