Schouwen-Duiveland

Welcome to my page about Schouwen-Duiveland. This beautiful Zeeland island blends wide sandy beaches, dune landscapes, historic towns, and a rich maritime history. It’s a place where calm and energy coexist.

The coastline stretches with beaches perfect for long walks, while vast nature reserves offer silence and birdsong. As a photographer, I’m inspired by the ever-changing light. Mornings bring a gentle glow to the dunes, while sunsets set the horizon ablaze with warm colors.

Picturesque villages and historic towns, like Zierikzee, add charm and character. The mix of nature, culture, and water makes Schouwen-Duiveland an extraordinary place to experience and to capture.

On this page, you’ll find my blogs and photos about Schouwen-Duiveland. They tell stories of unexpected encounters, peaceful moments, and breathtaking views.

Take your time to explore these images and discover Schouwen-Duiveland through my eyes — an island full of charm, in every season.
