At the end of our holiday on the island of Texel we took the ferry back to the mainland. There are always many seagulls waiting for passenger to feed them their left over bread.

People sitting at the edge of a large beach in the north of Texel, The Netherlands, in the background you can see the lighthouse. If you look at the photos on the Picture-a-day page (no. 256a) you can see the vastness of the beach.

In a cafe yesterday I saw this nice scene. Although the face is not sharp, I have other photos where the kids face is sharp, I like this one best. She sees me taking the picture. More photos on the Picture-a-day page.

During a food festival in De Koog on the island of Texel, yesterday evening, I experimented with some hipshots. I’ve done this kind of photography a couple of times before, sometimes with good results.

Today we were in the harbor of Oudeschild, a village on the island of Texel, to buy fresh unpeeled grey shrimps. These North Sea shrimps which are well known for their taste. The many (German) tourists on Texel often come down to the harbour on Fridays to get the fresh shrimps and peel them at home, like we did. It took us two and a half hours to peel the kilo we bought.
