Since 2010, the fishing village of Breskens has had a 14-meter-high platform made of transverse wooden beams on which twelve giant red penguins silently look out over the local marina.

The artwork is by Belgian artist William Sweetlove. The picket fence represents constructions that sometimes cannot withstand the power of nature. The maritime work of art has international appeal and leaves an unforgettable impression on visitors to Breskens.

The work of art was built in 2010 and my grandfather died in 2011.

I stood in front of it with him and admired it.
