What did I really learn? That there are beautiful corners of my hometown that I took for granted or perhaps didn't even believe in...

What I like about this shot are the smooth lines of the bench and that atmosphere of solitude...

As I walked through a small walkway that led to the beach promenade, the sunset on the vast North Sea horizon suddenly came into view...

The cheerful bright colours, the peace and quiet of the day and the warmth of the sun make this image a worthy addition to my collection...
