Mont-Saint-Michel

This beautiful rock island looks amazing at night. This is the view I had a couple of years ago from the meadows just southeast of it. I arrived here when it was still light. By the time the island and especially the Abbey atop looked this Disney-like, though, darkness had fallen. What also started happening, was the tide rising. Because the grounds here slope up ever so slightly, the water comes up really quickly. While I managed to keep my feet dry, I did have to run for it.

Drowning House

This small wooden shack on poles was once built as a shelter for people who lost their way at sea, or for those whose boat was lost in the waves and washed ashore. Nowadays, when we all have GPS, it's a hiking destination more than anything else. Most people come here by horse carriage or 4x4, though. Not me. I enjoyed a beautiful sunrise at sea and a warm golden hour at this wonderful location, all by myself.

Zeeland Bridge

The longest bridge in the Netherlands (5022m) can be found in the Zeeland province. Hence its not very original name. Long ago, this used to be a toll bridge. After the construction loan was repaid with the toll that was charged for almost 25 years, though, passing the bridge became free of charge.

Berlin

Later this year I will be in my beloved Berlin again. I'm looking forward to having views like this over the German capital once more. Lots of people have kind of ignored Berlin for a long time, and are only slowly getting to appreciate the city now. Finally, because in my book, it has always been an amazing, interesting, and ever welcoming city.
