EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of solitude and adventure on Vlieland, a picturesque island in Friesland, Netherlands. The western half of the island is known as the Vliehors, often referred to as "The Sahara of the north" due to its deserted sandy landscape. While primarily used as a military training area, this stunning region becomes freely accessible for walkers during weekends when the guns fall silent. Amidst this vast expanse of sand lies a humble structure called the rescue hut (drenkelingenhuisje). Serving as aid for castaways, it stands tall against the endless sky and barren plain. This little house holds significant importance beyond its practical purpose; it has been recognized as an official wedding location, symbolizing hope and new beginnings amidst isolation. The photograph beautifully captures the wooden post stilt house with its rustic charm against a backdrop of untouched nature. It evokes feelings of loneliness and remoteness while also showcasing the immense beauty that can be found in desolation. As one gazes at this image, they are transported to a place where time seems to stand still - where windbreaks and buoys serve as beacons in an otherwise uninhabited land. It is no wonder that Vlieland's allure attracts travelers seeking unique travel destinations off-the-beaten-path. This remarkable photograph taken by Frans Sellies serves not only as a visual delight but also reminds us of our innate desire for exploration and connection with nature's wonders.
