Yes, you are completely right, but who has it solved now? I think, this was a perfect cooperation, so just discuss for yourself, who will post the new picture.
It is a popular coachride from Duhnen out to Neuwerk during low tide. Neuwerk is one of the Hallig islands in the Wadden Sea. These islands are undiked and most of them is flooded during high tide. During storm floods just the highest hill with the farm houses looks out of the water. Animals and people have to wait there until the water goes back again. They are fearing the climate change and the rising sea level very much.
At low tide many people do also footwalks out to the Halligs. It is important to have a guide, because dangerous streams are building up when the water comes back and you have to know the right way back. The coaches are extra high, because they are crossing these streams in the last minutes.
Over to you two again...Lofoten '07 ...... Nordnorge '11

No discussion - I issue an edict!
I was near it but had the wrong place from which the photo was taken. Thijs, the GE wizz kid, pinpointed it exactly.
And he need not say he has no photo. Just think of a place in any country, go to Wiki and choose from the photos there. They are all free to use under Commons without problems with copyright.Ivy

Thijs, be aware: This was a very friendly message. We see no frying pan until horizon...
For those who like to see a video of the coachride. Notice the emergency cages in the mittle of the sea. These are for walkers, which are too late on their way back.

Some winters yes, others only partly. (Much like the Canals in Holland)
