If you like 'architectural' views, go to Greenwich, London. Here, along the colonnades of the Old Royal Naval College, across the Thames, and onto the business buildings of Canary Wharf.

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.
The Hull Trinity House, locally known as Trinity House, is a seafaring organization consisting of a charity for seafarers, a school, and a guild of mariners. The guild originated as a religious guild providing support and almshouses for the needy, and established a school for mariners in 1787. By the 18th century it had responsibilities including management of the harbour at Hull, and buoys and pilotage in the Humber Estuary.
I am continuing my earlier series of minimal architectural views here in Europe, having interrupted them with a series of beach impressions during my time in Sri Lanka. Now I remembered a few successful shots I took a few years ago in Schwerzenbach, Switzerland, of an amazingly futuristic building. The pictures fit perfectly into the current series of pictures.
