A row of wooden groyne (?) beams on a beach in Zeeland with low rising dunes on the background has caught a piece of a drifting fishing net. The bright blue of the net is in stark contrast to the black and green colour of the beams against the sand illuminated by a sunset and with blue sky and a rising half moon in the background. After taking the picture, we took the net off and brought it to the nearest bin.
