Moddergat I Netherlands
The extreme drought we currently experience in the Netherlands is really unusual. Even our coastline is 'reacting' causing these interesting dried mud patterns.
Earlier I posted photos of the Dokkumer windmills, but the centre of the little town is very pretty as well.

On Sunday, January 25, 1903, Captain Morel sailed his Swedish steamship "The Otto" from Gothenburg to Manchester, carrying a large cargo of granite. In a heavy storm, the ship sank off the coast of Terschelling. The captain and his first mate died in the accident. 19 other passengers, including two women, were rescued and brought to land on Terschelling.
Exactly 100 years later, members of the Terschelling diving team "Ecuador" raised 33 enormous blocks of granite from the wreck. Dimensions varied from one, to almost two and one half meters in length, and the heaviest blocks weighed more than one ton.
In 2003 and 2004, the Israeli-Moroccan artist Yael Artsi, sculpted some of the 33 blocks of granite. Six monumental sculptures were the result. It was her idea to create maritime elements relating to the history of their origin, and also forging a link to the island.

Evening blue hour at one of the iconic buildings in the northern part of the Netherlands, in the province of Friesland. This gate was built in the 15-16C as part of the defence wall around the city, but with an opening to let water through.
