As peninsula means "almost an island" I guess you're correct

Since an island usually is surrounded by water, peninsulas are not islands.

But as a note of generosity all images which have been created of Walcheren prior to 1961 by "Alpha" cameras (Minolta A-mount, Sony A-mount, Hasselblad A-mount, Sony FE/E-mount) would be allowed, of course.

That Walcheren is not a city cannot be an argument here (but elsewhere!).

The Wikipedia article describes Walcheren as "former island" - please would the Netherlands experts here come up with a bit more information so that this request can be decided upon?
I guess it depends on your definition of "island". Walcheren was an island until 1961 and became an peninsula after that. It for sure is not a city.

I guess it is up to you mods to decide if peninsulas are islands.
