Helgoland 2016

[Hayo Baan]

Thanks to a great group of people and very nice weather, this year's Helgoland tour was again quite successful! As always, there was lots of action going on and we were able to make a lot, and varied, shots. Heck, even the sunset shots I initially thought I would throw away, turned out OK

Here are some of my shots.

Enjoy!
