Noordertoren, Schiermonnikoog – an island in a Polaroid by Elianne van Turennout

A photo of the Noordertoren on Schiermonnikoog, but with a slight twist. In the foreground, I’m holding the Polaroid myself. The actual tower is faintly visible in the background.

The best bit: this photo was taken by my eight-year-old daughter. Her dad bought her an Instax camera a while back, because she really wanted to take photos herself. We made a deal together: any proceeds this photo might generate will go towards fun things for her – from toys to a visit to the cat café, from fun little trips somewhere to new Instax films.

The red lighthouse, the blue island light, the dune landscape and that little Polaroid actually tell the whole story of a day on the island.

This photograph is ideal for anyone looking for Schiermonnikoog wall art, a photograph of the Noordertoren, lighthouse photography, the Wadden Islands, island photography, the Dutch coast, Polaroid photography, art by emerging artists or the Wadden Sea on the wall.

This photograph looks lovely as a print, but also works well on canvas, aluminium dibond or acrylic glass. A refined work of art for a living room, bedroom, hall, study or holiday home. Particularly in a place where memories are allowed to come alive.
