In an age where warning signs are everywhere, why are some signs still never posted?
The We are Here challenge on April 20 2017 was: Careful Now
On August 23, 2011, a magnitude 5.8 earthquake centered in Virginia rocked the Philadelphia, Washington, and Annapolis area. Fortunately, Storm Brothers Ice Cream Factory is still around! Unfortunately for us, Storm Bros. was closed the day after the earthquake when we were in the area.

For Dutch notions, the Vliehors is an exceptional region as far as landscape is concerned. The dimensions of the panorama here are in no proportion to man. One is surrounded by a sand plain stretching out to the horizon or to the endless surrounding sea. This sandbank was once a dune region in which the village West Vlieland was located. The northern border of that area and the location of West Vlieland now lie at least a kilometer further north in sea. Before 1950, the Vliehors was a large sand plain, without any growth whatsoever. Since that year, Rijkswaterstaat began placing branches and reed screens on the Vliehors, creating drift dikes. Three dikes were created in this manner: the permanent dike, running from the training camp in a westerly direction, and the first and second drift dike, which lie to the west of the air force tower. Since recently, a new dune area has been forming in the shelter of these drift dikes. Primary dunes grow into a complex of dunes and the low areas in between develop quickly into salt marsh. Interesting plants grow on this salt marsh and in the dunes; the first bushes have also been reported. On the Vliehors, one can easily see how a sand plain slowly changes into a dune area. Put this on a larger scale and one can imagine how a wadden island develops from a bare beach ridge into an island covered in growth. Seals sometimes lie on the tip of the Hors. Nowadays, man is using the Vliehors more regularly. The entire area is a training terrain for the Department for Defence. They named it Cornfield Range and it is the only place in the Netherlands where fighters and bombers can practice with both practice and live ammunitions. Airplanes of the Netherlands air force and different other NATO countries are daily visitors of the range. They can hire time, named slots, to let their pilots practice their skills at the range.
This Straight Out of Camera Photo taken on Vlieland an island in the North Sea - The Netherlands. During the weekdays it's a training terrain for the NATO airforce. But in the weekend you can igore all warning signs and enjoy the dimensions of the panorama here. Not a lot of people know about this, so I was here all alone! It's quite an unique experience since the Netherlands has one of the highest population densities in the world. And yet I was here all alone. I'm sure this is the quietest place in the Netherlands. On the tip on the Vliehors there is the 'Reddingshuisje' - little rescue house. It was build in 1890 as a shelter for shipwreck victims. Today it serves as a very small museum and a wedding chappel for private weddings - room for ten people. When you visit this place don't make a mistake to visit this place in the weekdays!
Deze foto geeft een mooi contrast weer met m'n laaste serie foto's van Beieren. Geen hoge bergen maar een oneindige vlakte. De Vliehors is een zandvlakte van 20 vierkante kilometer aan de westkant van Vlieland. Deze vlakte wordt ook wel de Sahara van het Noorden genoemd. Op het uiterste puntje van de Vliehors zie je hier bijna altijd wel zeehonden. Ook staat er een Reddingshuisje midden op de Hors. Vroeger een vluchtplaats voor gestrande drenkelingen, nu ingericht als juttersmuseum. Alles wat op het strand is aangespoeld is hier te bewonderen, van sigaretten tot flessenpost. Sinds 1997 is het reddingshuisje één van de officiële trouwlocaties op Vlieland. Deze unieke trouwlocatie staat sinds enkele jaren wereldwijd in de top 10 van mooiste locaties. De Vliehors is een uitgestrekt natuurgebied, dat voor een groot deel in gebruik is als militair oefenterrein van de Koninklijke Luchtmacht. De zandplaat is gelegen op de westelijke helft van het waddeneiland Vlieland. De operationele benaming van de Vliehors is Cornfield Range. In het weekend is deze zandvlakte vrij toegankelijk. Je hoeft je dan niets aan te trekken van alle waarschuwingsborden. Maar niet veel mensen weten dat. Hier liep dan helemaal alleen op deze inmens grote zandvlakte. Toch wel een unieke ervaring en dat in Nederland - één van de dichtbevolkste gebieden van de Wereld. Wat een stilte hier! Ik denk toch wel de stilste plek in Nederland, maar dan alleen in het weekend. Toch groeien er hier op deze zoutvlakte bijzondere plantjes. Een begin waar zand zich kan ophopen, een begin van een nieuwe duinrand. De waddeneilanden zijn zo altijd in beweging. Door de weeks is het een militairoefenterrein. In september 2009 is door het Ministerie van VROM een nieuwe milieuvergunning afgegeven aan Defensie, die het mogelijk maakt om te schieten vanuit jachtvliegtuigen en helikopters en tot maximaal 70 live bommen 500-ponders per jaar af te werpen. Dus vergis je niet in de dagen van de week!
Driving westbound I-70 just west of the US-385 interchange (Exit 437) in Burlington, approaching a windsock and a warning sign that "High Winds Possible."
We continued driving west toward our destination for the night: Denver (at least the east metro near DIA).

taken at the donkey sanctuary this made me laugh with all the warning signs on the gate, and the cat just doing what cats do – and roaming free
also the below shot is william and joey – both retired now and both can be adopted from the donkey sanctuary

The northern border of that area and the location of West Vlieland now lie at least a kilometer further north in sea. The Vliehors is very important as a high tide refuge. Gulls, oystercatchers and curlews breed on the drift dikes. A few places on the Hors are used as a breeding area for Kentish plovers and ringed plovers. Seals sometimes lie on the tip of the Hors. Nowadays, man is using the Vliehors more regularly. The entire area is a training terrain for the Department for Defence. They named it Cornfield Range and it is the only place in the Netherlands where fighters and bombers can practice with both practice and live ammunitions.

I do like the big contrast with my previous photo's of the Bavaria - Germany. No high mountains but a sand plain stretching out to the horizon.

I build my 365 photo projects around a roadmap. The roadmap says, stay on the road and don't deviate too much. Take a 365 picture as part of the day, wherever that road leads to.
1. Carry fish under your arm
2. Put a fish on a sauna
3. Tickle a fish with a stick
One of quite a number of various warning signs down by the river.
I liked the patterns of the scaffolding, boards and fencing with the blue sky lighting up the gloomy stairwell.
In case you're not sure what a 'groyne' is, it's that wooden thing sticking out into the sea which helps prevent sand from washing away from the beach.

In an effort to take some dawn shots (to follow in the next series), I made my way down to this very rugged beach in total darkness. The wind was blowing a gale (as can be seen by the grass and the wild seas). I got my shots, but as I retreated in the growing light I saw the opportunity to take this shot.
For those who know Phillip Island, I was at the Colonnades Beach and this shot is taken looking west. Unfortunately because of high tide, the Colonnades themselves (a rock formation) were under water.

A damaged (by the wind?!) warning sign of strong winds at Pico Bartolomeu, the 885m peak in the eastern part of Sao Miguel island in the Azores. It was fun observing clouds being swept from one side of the ridge to the other, on top of the amazing views that this vista point offers.
My first ever HDR approx 10 months ago was this very same spot @ Austinmer lap pool, today Sunday 19th October the weather was completely different, and so was the camera gear.
** The sky has not been photoshopped other than to enrich what was already there. On clear evenings the most intense light you will get is approx 20-25 mins after the sun has set (beyond sea level). These colours you see are the suns light being diffused through the atmosphere, the yellows appear when the sun is approx 5-6 degrees below the horizon (1 degree every 4 mins approx)
