love this composition. I'm not sure what all the posts are for but it certainly makes for a lovely picture.

@Marion: Thanks a lot!
I believe they are supposed to break the waves, and help to avoid the sand dunes to be swept away.
They call them "buhnen" = "spur dykes" in English. Thanks for the visit and interest ;)

An interesting view as you look "beyond." It's like the breakwaters take over the landscape.

A lovely seascape. I find those pylons very intriguing.

Online again :) Hi Manuela, thanks for the comments. Beautiful image you have here, very nice perspective, and the wooden poles in the foreground look great.

Great repetition with the logs throughout the shot.....I am intrigued, what are they there for?

@Mandy Provan: Thanks Mandy!
I have never seen it before neither... the wooden poles are to prevent the sand & dunes to be washed away.
See ya ;)

I've never seen so many breakwaters used together like this on a beach. It certainly makes for an interesting composition the way you've placed them.
