NAUERNA, Amsterdam Westerpoort – In the background at 14 km Tata Steel IJmuiden; a Steel Plant in IJmuiden and Velsen-Noord, Netherlands. Tata Steel IJmuiden was formerly known as Koninklijke Nederlandse Hoogovens en Staalfabrieken (KNHS) until 1996 (informally Hoogovens), and then Koninklijke Hoogovens Steel Factories, IJmuiden, The Netherlands.

The North Sea Canal (Dutch: Noordzeekanaal) is a Dutch Ship Canal, long 25 km, from Amsterdam to the North Sea at IJmuiden, constructed between 1865 and 1876 to enable seafaring Vessels to reach the Port of Amsterdam. This Man-Made Channel terminates at Amsterdam in the closed-off IJ Bay, which in turn connects to the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal.

un petit jeu de patience et de timing avec la mer ☺

Another in the series of long exposure beach photos in Cornwall.

I wanted to capture the feeling of being alone with the forces of nature and feel the sense of mystery of the place.

An impression of sea and water. Again a texture of an old agave-leaf.

This time the flickr auto-tags see it too ;-)

Troppe,troppe parole a commentare un silenzio. Il silenzio di chi lascia un vuoto. Certe volte,il troppo silenzio fa male.,ancora più del vuoto. O sorse è' al contrario ? Bu! ... Una cosa è' certa,il silenzio aiuta a capire !

"—Estar vivo es... dar vida —se respondió a sí mismo—. Dar vida a los que te rodean. Cualquier cosa que dé vida está viva, recuérdalo. Imagínate las vidas que han salvado esos faros, las vidas que han evitado que se hundan en la mar..."

No hay excesivo color o magnificiencia en esta foto, es solo el brillo del sol acariciando el mar, las siluetas a contraluz en un momento de armónica complicidad tras el esfuerzo común y poco más.

Sin embargo la escena me transmitió una sintonía, una belleza y una paz que solo las cosas sencillas aportan.

There is no excessive color or magnificence in this photo, it is only the brightness of the sun caressing the sea, the backlit silhouettes in a moment of harmonious complicity after the common effort and little else. However, the scene transmited me a harmony, a beauty and a peace that only simple things bring.
