Texel may not have any imposing geographical features, there are no mountains, cliffs, hills… just flat land, dunes and then the sea. That means that it’s biggest feature is the sea, the flatness of the land and the sky. Our visit in the 2016 Easter weekend, and our car journeys around the island, meant that we saw a lot of flat land and a lot of changeable sky. The days varied wildly, it was never topically warm of course, but at some moments there was bright sun light and others the sky was so dark, we half expected it to hail. Naturally I took photographs as we travelled. There may not be many geographical features but that didn’t mean it wasn’t interesting!

Two seagulls were having a fight, on the road, with very little regard for cars until the last minute…
