The former island, now peninsula Walcheren (Zeeland, The Netherlands) had in the past the nickname 'Garden of Holland'. Walcheren was inundated in 1944 (WW II) and flooded (by disaster) in 1953. Both events destroyed the picturesque character of Walcheren. Lots of effort has been spent to bring Walcheren back in its orignal state. Hope this series will show you that Walcheren got back some of its idyllic country roads and paths and its picturesque character again. The images are taken in different seasons. Hope you'll enjoy this series.

This could be Groningen as well, Cornelius!
I like these places, I grown up with this kind of scene on
the flat province of Groningen,it's in my roots and it became a part of my soul! ( Uit de klei getrokken Groninger...lol!)

A former island? At least now you don't have to have a boat to get there. LOL. This one has a hint of fall. Very nice, Cornelius.

It is hard for me to imagine some country tearing up another country. We have been lucky in the US and we should remember that all haven't been so fortunate. Great photo C and a good reminder for us. Love the colors and the lane.

I like the fresh and juicy look of the grass and the soft look of the whole image.

I remember watching the newsreels at the post theater in in Bad Nauheim and seeing the flooding. A few weeks later dad was transferred back to the States and we saw no more Signal Corp newsreels back here. It is wonderful to see this reclaimed from the sea again. Thanks for the update. Wonderful composition, Cornelius.

As in so many of your beautiful images, one is taken back in time. Lovely beyond words.
