Harlingen 2

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 19 December 2007 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

Harlingen is an old, small and beautiful harbour city to the Wadden Sea, the water between the Wadden Islands and the North Coast of the Netherlands. The ships you see are part of the brown fleet, preserved and maintained thanks to tourists embarking for trips to Scandinavia and the UK.

Shot taken from the lighthouse. This picture must be appreciated on "large" (right bottom corner).

Beautiful! I love the look of those boats. I also like the way the buildings are reflected in the water.

Nice color for the sky, we get it often like this here in the Eastern Townships.

@Wolfgang Prigge: Yes, don't you find it a peculiar word "township", on this picture you also see townships: ships that are part of the town, belong to the town scenery, ain't it funny?

That looks picture perfect, like
a high quality post card. Bravo.

@Seraphine: Thank you Seraphine! BTW I got curious about the combination San Francisco and Uganda and typed both topographical names in Google, and guess what: this picture was among the top ten sites on the search report! Is there a San Francisco in Uganda? Are you African? If I were you I wouldn't answer, but I'm not you, and you will not answer, is that logic? Yes it is, because not answering in one condition doesn't logically mean: answering in another condition. Maybe something for one of your comics.

Very pretty - i love all the ropes from the boat in your shot - makes it so interesting - - - sorta like a painting.
