View of the town Rab on the island Rab from a popular overlook. As you can see, the landscape in the back was darkened by clouds, as the weather was often changing those days. I took several shots while the light was changing with varying number of towers in the sunlight, and this was the best of these from my point of view.
Blick auf die Stadt Rab von einem beliebten Aussichtspunkt. Man kann erkennen, dass der Hintergrund durch Wolken verdunkelt war. Das Licht wechselte im Minutentakt und so waren auch unterschiedliche Teile das Ortes im Licht, mal ein oder zwei Türme, bei diesem Bild alle vier.
The silhouette of Zierikzee has been making good impressions for six centuries and more. Many of the walls, gates, churches, towers and windmills of those long-gone days are still with us today, among them 500-plus monuments.

It was in 1248 that Zierikzee received its town charter. By the medieval era, it had acquired a strategic importance: between 1414 and 1576 fires reduced to partial or complete ashes several times.
The wars of the 20th centuries had their impact too. In WW1, an off-course British bomber dropped several bombs on Zierikzee, killing three citizens. In the decades after the Second World War, some 30 million kilos of munition were dumped in the (deep) Gat van Zierikzee in the Oosterschelde estuary – and remain there today.
