Netherlands - Super Moon rise over the Marken Lighthouse on peninsula in the IJsselmeer
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.
When I found out about the giant super moon appearing on our sky I had to find the perfect location and hope for the perfect conditions. I happened to be in NL and wondered where it would be the best to capture it. Than I remembered the Marken Lighthouse. I checked my iphone app where exactly the moon will be rising and decided it was the perfect spot. The weather was great suppport and presented me with with perfectly clean, blue sky. Later on, after seeing that giant moon rising up, as frosting on a cake those few clouds appeared to finish this wonderful shot.

Does you Iphone also have a 'I always get the best shot' app? Amazing how you come up with these shot over and over again.
Next time you're around, come and have a look at Rotterdam or Delft for a change ;)
