Picture
Caption: My local beach is Zuiderstrand, in the Netherlands. I come here every day before going to work.
It gives me a chance to focus and unwind before the start of a brand new day.

Caption: Like all beaches in the Netherlands, it offers a natural barrier from the unpredictable North Sea and protection for the lowlands that lie inland.
The beaches are wide, sandy and perfect place to explore.

Caption: I bike here and pull my bike up on the sand. Then often walk around, watch the sunrise in the summer months or watch the storm clouds roll in during the cold winter months.
It makes for a perfect moment with the camera.

The lighthouses at the end form the perfect focal point and the lands that lie beyond.
