Zeeland also called Zealand in English, is the westernmost province of the Netherlands. The province, located in the south-west of the country, consists of a number of islands (hence its name, meaning "sea-land") and a strip bordering Belgium. Its area is about 2930 kmē, of which almost 1140 kmē is water. Large parts of Zeeland are below sea level. The last great flooding of the area was in 1953. The coat of arms of Zeeland shows a lion half-emerged from water, and the text "luctor et emergo" (Latin for "I struggle and I emerge"). The Pacific nation of New Zealand is named after Zeeland. I take my pictures mostly on the island called Schouwen-Duyveland and especially spring and winter time are my favourite seasons. Enjoy watching these pictures.
