joggen @stadnieuwpoort ... altijd een beetje verwondering?

Deze avond vrij laat (21u) nog gaan joggen in Nieuwpoort.

Een eerste verwondering: een vos gezien in de Simliduinen.

En dan, wat later, op de prachtige Paul Orbanpromenade richting staketsel, ter hoogte van de "uitkijkpost over de Yzer" : 6 zeehonden, die nog wat lagen na te genieten van het laatste beetje zon (of lieten ze zich de verwondering van de aanwezige toeristen welgevallen? ... de sloebers).

... meer moet dat niet zijn om een mens te laten glimlachen :-)
