Zierikzee and Zeeland: historic streets and coastal landmarks

A weekend in Zeeland took me through the historic streets of Zierikzee and out towards the surrounding waters. The town’s old buildings offered a rich contrast with the flat, open landscape around it.

Near Zierikzee, I photographed the Zeeland Bridge across the Eastern Scheldt. Its long, repeating structure gave the water a clear visual rhythm and offered a very different subject from the town centre.

I also visited the Plompe Toren near Koudekerke, a surviving church tower from a village lost to the sea. Together, these locations brought Zeeland’s relationship with water into the photographs: the harbour, the bridge and a solitary reminder of the past.
