I took this photo on the former island of schokland in the Northeast Polder. You can see the former harbour in the northern part of Schokland. The evening before I took this photo it had snowed, there was still a thin layer of snow with some grass just coming through. The front building belonged to the lightkeeper/harbourmaster and the back building was for the foghorn, in between is a lighthouse made of a metal skeleton. In the photo, you can still see a jetty where ships from the Zuiderzee used to dock. I was standing on a cycle path of paving cobblestones that had not been cleared of snow. For this photo, I put my camera on a tripod and used a polarisation filter to make the sky a little bluer. I still chose to keep this photo in 2-by-3 ratio afterwards.
