Hallig Gröde - Sunset
Finally, the sun is about to set in the west, illuminating the clouds with a range of warm colors from yellow to red.
The really nice thing about our accomodation on Gröde was this view. The bedroom windows were facing west, so sunset photography was very comfortable. ;-) This image concludes the Hallig Gröde series in my PhotoLog. A complete album of the Gröde images is now online (first version, better structure to come). A new visit to Hallig Gröde is planned for September 2004, so stay tuned for more images to come in the future.
Hallig Gröde - Evening Light
One of the houses on the Knudswarft in the red light of the sinking sun.
In total, there are five houses on Gröde, four of them on the Knudswarft and one on the Kirchwarft. All of them have a thatched roof, which means you have to be a bit careful with a barbecue in the summer ;-), but also gives the houses the typical look harmonically complementing the landscape.
Hallig Gröde - Sunrise
Another day, half an hour earlier. North-east of the Knudswarft, some pools provide a great setting for the rising sun.
These pools, even though they are very near to the houses and the “highway” connecting the Knudswarft to Appelland and the jetty on the east side, are a good place to watch various kinds of wading birds during daytime.
