a postcard from Cuxhaven

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Here's my contribution to the theme.
This was taken on the Wadden Sea in Cuxhaven, northern Germany.
It is a popular vacation spot on the North Sea and home to about 52,000 residents.
Cuxhaven is home to an important fisherman's wharf and ship registration point for Hamburg as well as the Kiel Canal.
The city's symbol is a beacon or lighthouse; the wooden landmark on the mouth of the Elbe marks the boundary between the river and the North Sea and also adorns the city's coat of arms.
A few kilometres off the Cuxhaven coast lies the island of Neuwerk. At low tide the water recedes so far from the coast that the island can be reached either by mudflat hiking or by horse carriage.
(excerpt taken from Wikipedia)
I often go there as it only takes about one hour drive from my home town up there. It's always like a short holiday to wander along the shore or out into the mudflat.
Thanks for having a look.
regards, Heike |

Howdy Heike!
Amazing seascape. Very interesting minimalostic composition.
Regards!
hi heike.
i agree with black dog.
your minimalistic approach has given this an air of mystery.
i like the use of the reeds/shrubs to frame the wading bird.
nice colouring,also.
