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 photo taken on Vlieland an island in the North Sea - The Netherlands. It looks like a Marslander but it's the airforce control tower. 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!
Het lijkt wel een marslander maar het is de verkeerstoren van de luchtmacht. De Vliehors is een uitgestrekt natuurgebied, dat voor een groot deel in gebruik is als militair oefenterrein van de Koninklijke Luchtmacht. 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. 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 zandplaat is gelegen op de westelijke helft van het waddeneiland Vlieland. Hier liep ik 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!

A Fatamorgana of the shoreline of the island Texel. The island seems splited into more islands but actually it's one island. This Straight Out of Camera photo taken from Vlieland an island in the North Sea - The Netherlands. This optical phenomenon occurs because rays of light are strongly bent when they pass through air layers of different temperatures, like here with such warm sandbank and cool sea air. Fata Morgana mirages tremendously distort the object or objects which they are based on, such that the object often appears to be very unusual, and may even be transformed in such a way that it is completely unrecognizable.
Deze foto geeft een mooi contrast weer met m'n laaste serie foto's van Beieren. Geen hoge bergen maar een oneindige vlakte.

While stopped in my vehicle, I noticed this black bird (Grackle) strutting along the warning sign at the end of the roadway. I rolled down my window as the passing ship in the background floated into position for a cool shot. This was at Galveston Island.

The British Electricity Authority ceased to exist in 1955, which may explain the condition of this sign

Another Lake District Vista that should be in the list of top 10 UK views, and a contender for 'Heaven on Earth' - Langdale.
Approaching from the road that passes Blea Tarn, on reaching the crown of the hill, this incredible view is laid out before you - green fields surrounded by the impressive Langdale Fells.
Somehow have managed to missed this trip around Langdale on previous visits. To make it even better, there are a couple of great pubs at the bottom, the National Trust "Sticklebarn" and the Dungeon Ghyll Hotel/Bar!

He must not have liked the rules, lol.
This has to be one of my all time favorite photos. It was so instantaneous and so perfect. It happened in Yellowstone Park. There were probably 20 or 30 photographers standing around me as this bear walked by the sign. All of them were waiting for him to get past the sign so they could take the "nature shot". I had my camera trained on him the whole time, and when he reached up and bit the sign, it was the shot of a lifetime, lol. I bet not one of the others caught this moment.
No interior do submarino NRP Barracuda, atualmente atracado em Cacilhas como museu, observa-se uma secção técnica com um complexo sistema de tubagens, válvulas e condutas metálicas. Este sistema, essencial para a ventilação, pressurização e equilíbrio da pressão interna em imersão, permitia o controlo manual de fluidos como ar comprimido, água do mar e combustível. Destaca-se a presença de válvulas de controlo, incluindo quatro válvulas manuais com volantes circulares pretos, e de painéis elétricos com sinalização de alta tensão e avisos, indicando circuitos de arrefecimento, sistemas hidráulicos e o sistema de propulsão. Estas tubagens e válvulas são parte integrante dos sistemas essenciais para a operação subaquática e a segurança da tripulação. O Barracuda, pertencente à classe Albacora/Daphné, serviu na Marinha Portuguesa entre 1968 e 2010, oferecendo hoje aos visitantes uma visão das condições técnicas e operacionais deste tipo de navio militar.
Inside the submarine NRP Barracuda, currently moored in Cacilhas as a museum, we can see a technical section with a complex system of pipes, valves and metal ducts. This system, which was essential for ventilation, pressurization and internal pressure balance when immersed, allowed for the manual control of fluids such as compressed air, seawater and fuel. Noteworthy are the presence of control valves, including four manual valves with black circular handwheels, and electrical panels with high-voltage signs and warnings, indicating cooling circuits, hydraulic systems and the propulsion system. These pipes and valves are an integral part of the essential systems for underwater operation and crew safety. The Barracuda, belonging to the Albacora/Daphné class, served in the Portuguese Navy between 1968 and 2010 and today offers visitors an insight into the technical and operational conditions of this type of military vessel.

This is the last picture from my journey to Deal, Kent.
It was a great time. Although very cold, windy some times and freezing hands, it was worth it.
I have to say that it took me a while to make the selection. There are some I am still playing around and it is not final (mainly the color ones).
"To infinite" represents the journey I am in at the moment. Like the water signs going to the infinite, they end in that boat that you can barely see in the horizon. That is where I want to go, that is what I am working hard to get to. And I will.
Thanks all.

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. On this day the sand became very hot when exposed to the warm sun, easily being more than 10°C hotter than the sea air one meter above, enough to cause this inferior mirage. The real object is the blue sky and the Leopard tank in that direction, meaning we see a bright bluish patch on the ground in the distance. For exhausted travelers in the desert it appears as a lake of water. This is called a "desert mirage". Not a lot of people know about this place, 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. When you visit this place don't make a mistake to visit this place in the weekdays!
Een fata morgana of luchtspiegeling is een optisch fenomeen dat het resultaat is van temperatuurinversie, een verschijnsel waarbij er grote temperatuurverschillen bestaan tussen verschillende luchtlagen. Zo ook hier op de Vliehors, een zandvlakte van 20 vierkante kilometer aan de westkant van Vlieland. Deze vlakte wordt ook wel de Sahara van het Noorden genoemd. Aan het grensvlak van het warme strand en de koele zeelucht ontstaat er dan een zg. woestijn luchtspiegeling. Het lijkt erop of deze Leopard tank in de zee staat. 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.

Eine alte Einhemm-Stelle im fränkischen Freilandsmuseum Bad Windsheim aus der Zeit des Königreichs Bayern, um vor starkem Gefälle Hemmschuhe an Pferdekutschen zu befetigen.
- An old warning sign at the Franconian Open-Air Museum Bad Windsheim from the times of the Kingdom of Bavaria near a steep gradient in order to attach brake shoes to carriages.
I spent sometime around this particular subject. Thinking...
When I stopped the car where I wanted, I checked the clock: 09:45. Checked accuweather: snow/slit... Temperature: -9. Bang... The sky was closing and a heavy slit started falling... My hands... Oh my hands (I am still in a hunt for a proper photography gloves). But if you aren't committed with your photography, well, you don't get it... After few minutes figuring out the composition and what I wanted as a final product, I simply put my hat to cover the camera/lens and sat for a minute or so. I enjoyed the moment, the connection and the solitude... Until my years where too cold :)
Post processing I worked with three different versions: a normal black and white, a underexposed and a overexposed version. In CS6, I used selections, mask and gradients to adjust the sky. Same for the sea, but added curves to the water to give that impact. I also dodged the post slightly so the white part would stand out a bit and finally another selection and gradient tool on the sides so your eyes don't rush out of the picture. What you guys think?
