Koserow - Sunset at the Achterwasser

Koserow is a small coastal bathing resort on the Island of Usedom.

The Achterwasser (Low German achtern = "rear, behind") is a lagoon forming a bay on the Peenestrom river, which flows into the Baltic Sea. This lagoon extends so far into the island of Usedom, that it is only separated from the Baltic Sea by a narrow barrier spit .

In past centuries the barrier protecting the lagoon was sometimes breached by the Baltic Sea during storm surges that flooded across the island of Usedom, when the narrowest part of the land bridge between Zempin and Koserow at Rieckgraben (near Lüttenort) was flooded. This land bridge between the Achterwasser and the Baltic Sea is only 300 metres wide.

The Achterwasser is rather shallow, a popular surfing and sailing area. Photo taken near the Koserow marina.

Sunset in November is rather early - late afternoon. Photo taken with a Nikon F4E and a Sigma 28-70/2.8 AF ED attached @70mm, Ektachrome Elite 100, digitized from a print.
