In the distance you can see the Zealand bridge and wind turbines.

The sand bars exist because with living on a Delta sand is deposited with the tides that travel in the East Scheldt.

Certain shipping routes have to be kept open by continuous dredging of the sand out of the lanes. Moreover, by high tide, they can´t be seen, so you have to navigate by the buoys.
