I wrote yesterday about some 1st impressions about a red rock and sandy islet in the North Sea. With some time before the return ferry to Hamburg in the afternoon, I purchased a trip on a little boat to go around the island of Heligoland.
Around the northwest corner of Heligoland, with Düne in the background at left.
Weathered sandstone rock pillars “Lange Anna” (left) and “Kurze Anna” (right-centre).
Heading around the southeast corner: overcast, misty, low chop, light rain showers.
Into the inner harbour, with the bright colours of the former lobster shacks (Hummerbuden).
“To be blue” in German means “to be drunk.” Drunk in blue and colours, definitely.
Museum Helgoland: the flag for Helgoland consists of 3 horizontal stripes: from top-down, respectively, green for the land, red for the sandstone cliffs, and white for the white sand.
Museum Heligoland: Why does the “Lange Anna” sandstone-pillar look like a happy carrot?
I made all images above with an iPhone15 on 25 May 2024. This post composed with Jetpack for iOS appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com.
