How lucky I am to live so close to the Wadden Sea. Less than half an hour before sunset I decide to go out quickly with my bicycle. The water is slowly sinking, creating a mirror over the Wadden Sea. The beautiful clouds being pulled apart reflect beautifully here.
I cycle from home through the small tunnel and end up on the dike, pedal briskly uphill and there is the beautiful view, The Wadden Sea! I decide to cycle a little further along the dike until I have the clouds directly in front of me, this is the ideal spot for the picture. I don't have much time left, so this is where it has to happen. Unpack my bag, put the camera on the tripod, put the filters in front of it, focus and shoot.
The sun disappears behind the horizon, which means packing my bag and heading home. What a nice way to end the day!
