The ascent to the beach is a passage intertwined with the Dutch legacy of coexistence with the sea.
Dunes ever-shifting, aren’t merely scenic, but nature’s bulwark against relentless tides, a living tapestry sheltering land and life, home to a delicate flora and fauna.

In the age of the Zuiderzee, herring was carefully dried in dark, quiet sheds. The method preserved not just the fish, but a centuries-old tradition. 📸 #HeritageHues #Historicalcraftsmanship #MaritimeHistory #FolkTraditions #DutchCulture #studioschipper

Out of a salty saltire sky
a leaf out of Leith fluttered by —
The trembling Scottish heather
gave sign that the weather
was turning from storms to sun
and the rain lifted high
to reveal a deep blue sky
and calm for the heather is won

The tail end of a traditional ship at Zuiderzeemuseum.

A serene and blissful moment as the Shipper was asleep on deck enjoying a nap in the summer sun and fresh sweat water air.

We captured the tail end of his beautiful vessel. ⚓️
