Part # 3: If the water goes: Wreck and texture in the sand
Part # 4: What else? Hospiz of the cloister Loccum, hay bale, golf course ...


Low tide and high tide in the permanent change are the reason that there is something new to see every time. Hundreds of vacationists on the beach run daily in direction of east top of the island. They have lowered the head, perhaps to find a beautiful mussel, a cancer tank or even one amber.

Small works of art arise also in the sand, regarded from the air, they get correctly to the validity.


Texture in the sand:
The photos arose west of the youth hostel nearby the wreck on the beach in the evening. The altitude of the camera was here only between 3 and approx. 8 m.

Wreck western of the youth hostel:
On one of my air photos of the beach (Part 1: Protection for the dune in the Pirolatal) I discovered an oval object  in the distance. From the proximity regarded it was an old wreck. Now I spend my summer vacation on the island Langeoog for 17 years, till now, however, I haven't seen this wreck yet. A sign for this, like low tide and high tide, storm tides, and the flow permanently changing the beach. The photos arose west of the youth hostel on the beach in the evening. Unfortunately, there was no more sunshine this evening.
