Petten

Yesterday evening, the tide promised to be perfect for this particular spot. Cloud coverage also looked promising on paper. But then, things still need to actually fall into place. And fall into place they did. What an evening! There were already three other photographers when I got here, and we all had an absolute blast.

What is the purpose of this many many many poles?
@Medmad It's an artwork that also serves as a monument. The old Petten village used to be right by the sea, where it was flooded and destroyed multiple times, before it was moved more inland, behind the dunes. These poles, which represent a church (the tall poles) and a couple of houses (the shorter ones), is to commemorate the old village.
