Looking north across Rottemeren in Zuid Holland, 10km outside Rotterdam.

I finally got out with my camera, walked around the nature reserve I live next to and saw what was what on such a fine day. I want a little boat.

I love how flat this is, yes water is often flat (unless you want to discuss the curvature of the earth), but to me this shot demonstrates the flatness of where I live, the far shore is reduced to a meagre smudge of earth sandwiched between air and water.

I grew up in Sussex with the rolling Downs on my doorstep, therefore coming to the Netherlands gave me quite a shock, the distinct lack of a vertical landscape baffled me. However, having spent nearly six months here now I've grown to love the slightly alien asthetic this lack of inclines creates.
