Sunset at Scheveningen Beach

20090704-0004 Scheveningen.
Yes, I know, most non-Dutch can’t even begin to pronounce the name of one of the most popular beach resorts in the Netherlands. However, when temperatures reach the levels as last week (mid-25C and up), it’s still one of the most desirable places to be.
Thank goodness I live in The Hague and only need to travel about 20 minutes by public transportation or a 1.5hours walk to get here.
Enjoy the warmth!

This picture took me quite a few to get. The maximum I had available was a 55-200 Telezoom, so I needed to crop it a little to get this clean a picture. Because of the massive amounts of light one gets while taking photographs directly into the sun, I needed to pinch the aperture to F32 to prevent damage to the sensor and to get the nice red hue in the clouds as can be seen here.

And, no.. The little black dots aren’t noise. They’re seagulls

and another one.. at almost maximum zoom:
