Waddenzee (the Netherlands)

I was really struck by the colors and foregrounding of the fence here, in this postcard depicting the famous Waddenzee (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). The sender writes that at low tide, you can walk to the islands, although you need a guide due to the dangers inherent. Of course, ships who wish to pass must wait for high tide.

There’s something familiar about this; this could be the north shore of my home state of Michigan.
