The ocean is one of earth’s best views a photographer can wish for. I call myself lucky that I live near the Dutch coastline. For me it is a place where I find peace, creativity, and not to forget wind 😉
Because we don’t have the most stable weather in the Netherlands the ocean does look different every day. It will always be unpredictable what I’ll find when I’m going to try and catch a few shots. I won’t always return home with killershots, but when those moments arrive, I’ll always hope I’ll be there out and shooting. Now let me take you out along on a small tour following this coastline.
Domburg
When I go for a run, it is most of the time at this beach. I start at the surf beach just behind Domburg and always run towards this place. When we want to go and grab some waves you can always find us (@dboontje and I) here.
Oostkapelle
While I’m running I’m passing by Domburg and run along the coastline to the next small village called Oostkapelle. This area is not that crowded during the summer months because a large part of the beach is a nudist area. There is also a very nice nature reserve here just behind the dunes called Oranjezon. So it will always give multiple options during your run, most of the time I’ll let that depend by the strength of the wind and it’s direction.
Vrouwenpolder
My longer runs usually ends with Vrouwenpolder. Here we have one of the biggest beaches from the area and behind that beach is my surfspot, it is a salt water lake because in our fight against the water we had to close this ocean arm so it became a lake without any tides the waters are only changing in height during winter or summer. But you can shoot here every time of the day, sunrise, sunset you will always have water in your view with the sun slightly above it at the right time 😍
Vlissingen
Here we have one of the bigger port cities in my area. A lot of fisherman and inshore pilots are located here. This is the entrance for one of the bigger harbours in the world the Belgian port of Antwerp. But this city also does show the big fight we have against the water and why we are so well known for it. (You can see that fight against the water in my last post with the windmill)
Local patch
Not to forget my local patch, with the shipwreck of the Captain James Duffy, I can always go here and play with my camera because there is always this great landmark being partly visible with high water or fully exposed when the tide is low. Thanks for being always there James! 👍
PS. As you might have heard, I'm not 100% healthy at the moment. A reply at a comment can take a while. Sorry in advance for that... ?

That photo from Domburg looks just like the beach where I live
Nice shot @mrprofessor and they look indeed very similar. I'll bet you only have better beach temperatures at the moment 🤣
Ufff it's way too hot actually. I prefer snowy weather.
Oh Poland did have spoiled you for life 🙈🤣
AHhahahaha it has, the whole 9 months away from home actually
Wow seriously great shots! Makes me want to go to Zeeland again! It’s been a while!
Well you're always welcome (maybe if you want to escape that balcony in the future 😝).
Ha! I will later this year for sure! I have surfboard laying around here statically for way too long already! I just don't live around the corner so I typically try to stay over for a whole weekend. Or longer when possible :D

Hi @guchtere,
Great to see you using the #travelfeed tag! We launched the #travelfeed curated tag more than 3 years ago and have been supporting the best travel blogs on Hive ever since. But did you know that TravelFeed has evolved? Based on the feedback of thousands of Hive travel bloggers we created TravelFeed.io.
TravelFeed.io brings together all the benefits of Hive decentralized blogging with features that you as a travel blogger will love: Photo galleries, Instagram embeds, custom maps, post scheduling, automated adding to Pinmapple and more. And if you want, you can even use our easy site builder to set up your own travel blog on your own domain which can be a great way to generate a passive income from your blog!
Unfortunately, focussing on developing the best platform for travelers means that we no longer curate the #travelfeed tag. But, you can log in with your Hive account on TravelFeed.io to publish your next travel post, and it will be posted to Hive automatically! Every day, we select the best posts and reward them with an upvote and added visibility.
We would love to see you on TravelFeed.io soon :)
