Lovely photos. I have been thinking about visiting the Wadden Islands to do some birdwatching/walking/beachcombing later this year. I am thinking maybe late summer/early autumn - hopefully it will be quiet then.

You should! Texel, the biggest island has some good spots and a large diversity. I would suggest Terschelling, my personal favorite

Wonderful Marcel! With this series, you truly capture the elegance of emptiness and solitude. It’s about time I finally visit the Wadden Islands myself. I’ve never been there before…

Glad they resonate with you, Leon. But shame on you that you haven't visited the Wadden Islands, being a Dutchy. Trust me, you'll love it.

I know, I know…😔 Haha!

I love the "panoramic" aspect of these. Sometimes I really want to see a landscape as a "landscape" ;-)

That was exactly my intention, James. Thank you

Gorgeous work. Now I’m dreaming of a quiet island and a full hip flask 😂

Hahaha, but be honest, you can have much worse dreams...

Oh absolutely! Haha!

This article isn't completed until you reveal the content of your hip flask.

How could I not include that? It ws filled with my favorite go-to whisky Glengoyne 12years. One of the few bottles that is always around in House Borgstijn ;-)

Love the photos, Marcel. It looks like the perfect spot to get away from it all. Many years ago I spent a couple of days on Schiermonnikoog. Your photos were a reminder of that time. Thanks.

Thanks Mark, The Wadden Islands are the best. My favorite spot. This weekend I will be heading to Terschelling again.

Thanks Marcel for the gorgeous photos, as I sit quietly with my morning coffee. Good morning from South West UK

Morning Michael, thank you. You should send photos of your favorite spots as I'm planning to visit Dartmoor or the Cotswolds this summer.

Ah, lovely Marcel. I actually spent a weekend in Dartmoor last October and built a small project out of it called 'The Wild Inside'. Where would I send some of those?

Maybe just share a link if you have them online somewhere, otherwise send me a DM.
