FEATURING “THE REED CORNER” (de Riethoek)
Featured at this moment are pictures of my `Reed Corner` collection. All those pics are made in, or in the immediate neighbourhood of, the Reed Corner (NL. de Riethoek), a small nature reserve in Amsterdam South-East, with wooded banks, bushy area’s, wetlands and swamps – paradise for birds and small animals.
In the past year, I have spent many hours there, admiring and in awe for the wonderful nature and the many plants and animal species living there, ad trying to capture their beauty in my photographs.
Now, the Amsterdam South-East city counsel has plans to start building houses at exactly this location. How sad and destructive would that be! The local organisations who try to protect this awesome nature reserve, and organise action for preservation, have my full support!
I always love it to receive comments or feedback on my work, and also if you would like any further information: you are most welcome to contact me at steppeland@Gmail.com
Enjoy!
