[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was just waiting for the boat to get me from Rozenburg to Maassluis. I was making a motorcycle tour and had to cross "De Nieuwe Waterweg" wich leads to Rotterdam Harbour: "De Nieuwe Waterweg".

While waiting i discovered a closed area, where al these water-beacons where put together.
They are used to guide ships through the water, so they don't bump into each-other or get stuck at the bottom...

As you can see, thes beacons have solar power on them, i think its used to send out a signal - other than the common used radar - wich can be picked up by traffic coming into the area.

Photoshop edit:
- autolevels
- contrast +8
- saturation +4
- 1 pixel border

I love all the colors and the sky is wonderful. The glare on the Maas and Euro letters is a bit distracting, but the colors are so awesome.
