    Hahaha you guys are sure creative It's a sand trowing ship. First they created a ring dike and now they are blowing the sand up onto the seabed to create new land.

    We Dutch are experts on this area, we did some Japanese airport, the area I am standing on when taking this picture, the Dubai palm islands and plenty more. It is a pity I cannot show you the huge amount of photo's my dad took when they built the first part of this in the 70's.

    Miscommunication seems to be a direct result of misplaced, text based sarcasm.

    I am into anything with technology, but especially Automotive / CVT-transmissions
    I live in the middle of this area of ports / docks and offcourse as a kiddo found it really impressive driving by it on the back seat of my daddy's car. Now I am a little older I get to acces these terminals for my job and believe me, it would amaze you as well. That kind of inspired me to do some photography in that area and it got a bit out of hand, with my own website, a forumwebsite for dockers, many company photoshoots and so on

    I do some other photography as well but it didn't give me enough of a challenge. This is much harder than it looks, I carry a radio, safety equipment, a port-map, my notebook with wireless internet acces to Dirkzwager (ship info, time of departure, time of arrival and so on) with me every time! Admitted though, this was just a easy shot though
