The final Dutch Navy Lynx -from a unique point of view...

Post by Sven van Roij »

A few months ago, on September the 7th, I had the great opportunity to make a photoshoot of the very last Dutch Lynx demonstration during the World Port Days of Rotterdam from a unique location. From the 26th floor of 'De Rotterdam' (see: http://www.derotterdam.nl) I had a unique viewing point during the event, at an altitude of around 260 feet. At the time of this shoot only the walls and ceilings of this building were placed, which gave me the opportunity to create a very dynamic photoshoot as you can see below.

Below you'll be able to see some pictures. I know it's a bit late, due to the publication of some images.

More pictures can be seen over here: http://www.defensie.nl/actueel/defensie ... tober_2012

A special thanks (again) to everyone who was involved!

minor lingual detail: it's the World PORT Days in stead of harbour days. Great pics.
