Netherlands - Lighthouse Paard van Marken (Horse of Marken) at Dawn
Marken is a peninsula in the IJsselmeer, the Netherlands, located in the municipality Waterland in the province North Holland. It is a former island, which nowadays is connected to the North Holland mainland by a causeway. Also, Marken is a well-known tourist attraction, well-known for its characteristic wooden houses.
The lighthouse is commonly known as the 'Horse of Marken' because of its characteristic shape with the tall, built-on keeper's house. Most probably it is, after the 'Brandaris' on Terschelling, the best-known and the most frequently photographed lighthouse of the Netherlands. The present lighthouse was built in 1839, upon the foundations of an earlier tower that was broken down that same year. The Zuyder Zee still was open sea by then and the lighthouse was of great importance for the shipping traffic to and from Amsterdam.

Too bad the rocks are cropped on the left side of the photo. But it's still very good.

Absolutely love that foreground! Big fan of hazy, semi-transparent water surfaces that reveal the rocks underneath :)
Nice light, almost looks like blue hour instead of night time.
