Drizzle

Arrived 04:45.
Drizzle with intermittent showers. Fresh (13-14°C). Rather a breeze, from WSW to W, compelling me - as I'm facing south - to have my umbrella on my right side. Therefore, could not see where the weather was coming from, or rather, what weather was coming. Facing S-SE, more or less towards Doel. 
Beautiful rapidly changing light and texture effects, fortunately too fleeting to tempt me to 'capture'.

Yet I'm surprised that I have to acclimatize to the lack of 'picturesque' of this land. Probably for the best. Not to fall asleep.

Hare, black-headed gulls, swifts (swallows?). Lambs silently grazing on the dike. Very little tidal movement. Faraway thumping and rumbling of container-ships, rhythmic swish of the two windmills to the east, sizzle of the drizzle on my umbrella.
