All alone with the primal forces........

            Well, you have to walk for miles along the coast of the Dutch Wadden island of Ameland to reach this untouched piece of nature.
It's too far away to find bathers there and you'll feel like you're in a trance when you feel the force of the wind, the drifting sand and the roar of the surf.
On this still young dune top it becomes clear that the wind causes the dune top to grow.
Before your feet it looks like a surf, but consists of sand that forms at the bottom of the beach and blows upwards.
You can sit there for hours and watch and listen to these primal forces.
This spectacle almost forces you to have respect for nature and you will not find this at all on the coast of the mainland........
