that moment when you randomly take a train and don't get off until you're at the last train station
Yesterday at Maritime Airbase De Kooy, EHKD, Den Helder Airport, the NH90 practiced with a helicopter underslung for transporting external cargoes to ships. At the same time there was also a fly-by of a F35 Lightning.
Den Helder (Netherlands) from the International Space Station.
The city and harbour of Den Helder in the northern Netherlands has been the home port for the Dutch Royal Navy for over 175 years. Its location on the North Sea has made it an important commercial shipping port as well.
The bright red agricultural fields in the south of Den Helder are where tulips and hyacinth are grown. The city can be seen as reddish-grey and grey street grids,and to the east are the dockyards. At top right, the extensive grey mudflats with their prominent branching pattern show that the photograph was taken at low tide, and show the general low elevation of the region.
Parallel wave patterns along the mudflats and the Marsdiep (a deep tide-race between Den Helder and the island of Texel) are formed as the water interacts with the sea bottom during tidal flow. Also visible are some ship wakes.
The bright white-grey triangular section at the southern tip of Texel [bottom centre] is a dune field, consisting mainly of eolian (windborne) sands that were deposited there during the last ice age. Since then, shoreline processes and the rising of the sea level have moved and re-deposited these sands into their current configuration, including a new dune field in the south-west of Texel.
