I made this cropped tele-pano (KB about 405 mm) not only to show the heavy traffic and a nice chain of many large ships on the big meander of the river Scheldt but also to document the many distant details at the other side of the river, among which: the city of Goes; several high churches, often from Medieval origin, that localize the small villages in the province of Zeeland and last but not least: the silhouette of the city of Bergen-op-Zoom (35-37 km) and even the tower of the big St-Gummarus Church of Steenbergen (origin 12th century, 43.5 km) in the province of North-Brabant.

Zeeland is a windy area and more and more wind mills become part of the landscape unfortunately. I count no less than 130 on this pano.

Also I would like to point out that most of the land behind the dikes is 0 m to 4 m below the high tide water level. However just east of Bergen-op-Zoom and continuing straight to the south into Belgium, there is a sudden increase of the landscape of about 20-25 m called: "the Brabantse Wal" or "Zoom". This steep edge is visible on the pano right of Bergen-op-Zoom.

Those renewables...

Nice job made with an interesting camera.
I totally agree about the disturbing windmills, really ugly and producing not so cheap energy even on windy Dutch coasts.
May I ask you some impressions on 18-150 lens? I've 11-22 and 55-200 and they are really great lenses, but I'd prefer not to switch lens so many times. Unluckily I saw some test on 18-150 and they were not that good. Maybe your experience in using it can tell something, Thanks.

Hi Marco. I bought this camera + 11-22 mm and 18-150 mm lenses because of its compactness, acceptable quality and the possibility to take it with you anywhere in a small bag. I didn't chose the 55-200 mm because tests showed this lens is less sharp in the corners than the 18-150 mm and the range doesn't overlap with the 11-22 mm making a 3rd lens necessary. I know these lenses are compromises but in general good enough for what I do. Because they are so compact, they are not light intensive and unusable without vignetting compensation. Years ago, when I was shooting analog, I had big, heavy lenses making a slave of myself.

Expressive long stripe in beautiful colors - it's not my favorite landscape, but it's very interesting to see fine details from your home region, Mentor !!

Cheers, Hans-Jörg

Interesting information about the sights and the countryside, Mentor.
Heavy traffic, but in between there are large spaces. Why?

But I would like to say something about the EOS M lenses:
- A test of the 18-150 lens, which is very positive is described here: https://www.digitalkamera.de/Zubeh%C3%B6r-Test/Testbericht_Canon_EF-M_18-150_mm_3_5-6_3_IS_STM/10403.aspx.
- The 11-22 was also tested there https://www.digitalkamera.de/Zubeh%C3%B6r-Test/Testbericht_Canon_EF-M_11-22_mm_4-5_6_IS_STM/10400.aspx. Overall also very positive. It was not so positively rated by Photozone: http://www.photozone.de/canon-eos/963-canon_m1122_456.
