Zierikzee Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The oldest tracks go back to the 10th century. Zierikzee started as an empty space near a creak
called the `Ee`. Farmers and fishermen build some houses. Zierikzee, on the southside of the island, was a safe place for big storms and floods. The creak the `Ee` was connected with in that time, an important sea intersection between Holland and Vlaanderen (Belgium) called the `Gouwe´.
On the east was Antwerp and it was situated between the islands Schouwen and Duiveland. There is a story about how Zierikzee got it´s name. One of the first commanders of Zierikzee must have been a certain `Zierik´, so the `Ee was from Zierik`.
Out of that came the name Zierikzee....

Mooi verhaal over deze Zierik, dat wist ik niet, mooie foto met de poort erbij, altijd spijtig dat die auto weeral eens de opening versperd, anders konden wij er nog eens doorkijken. Ik vind dit een prachtig plaatje Hans, zo Nederlands ook.

Onmiskenbaar Hans.
Mooie plaat van ons Zierikseee. In dialect gesproken.Goede kleuren en eigenlijk een goede foto, waar ze enkel nog maar `groeten uit´, op hoeven te zetten. Goed werk

Being as fond of color as I am, this photo is a great joy for me to look at. Good shooting angle that fills the frame with these fine buildings; the left one really excels in textures and details to explore. Your well-written note completes this interesting historical package from Zeeland. Well done, Hans.

Hoi Hans, mooie compositie van een heerlijke zeeuws stadje, lastig licht, denk ik. Net niet overbelicht. Mooie foto

With that picture, I know the origin of the name of that beautiful city. Unfortunaltly, last saturday, I took a picture of zeelandbrug but didn't visit this apprently beautiful town... I have to come back in your countryI think...
About the picture, it's a really nice exposure and very well framed! Bravo, Hans!

A special architecture and I can image that the owner of this house must have been something special - thanks Hans for taking us here - a place to visit some day.
