Roa Island
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 21 June 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
Photographed at low tide showing the row of terraced houses at the end of the island with their roof tops peeking above the sea wall and the bridge to the lifeboat station on the right.

A very remote location. Life on a Hallig certainly looks picturesque, but you would have to hold your nerve during a tempest. Your photo shows this helplessness very well.

@MadScientist: The area on that link map looks really interesting and sounds very similar to Roa which is attached to the mainland by a causeway. I think the last time Roa was flooded was in the winter of 2002.
@Marie LC: Thanks Marie!

Pretty "cinematic"! Very special atmosphere enhanced by your brilliant use of the wide angle and b&w conversion!

This is a good shot. Nothing wrong with it. Any of us would be proud of it.
But I am spoiled...just been looking at your Paris gallery again on Flickr...which are well, very, very special...and, ahem...in colour!

@Ted: Ted, you must be a mind reader......coincidentally I'd already loaded a colour shot from Paris for tomorrow's photo :-)

As usual, your landscapes are simply superb, in particular the density of the sky. I'm wondering what kind of post-treatment you're using. Anyhow, sincere congratulations for your work!
