View on and from the schorren of the Eastern Scheldt

The Oosterschelde (Eastern Scheldt) was originally a river mouth. This was changed into a shallow sea arm by the construction of the Delta Works in 1986: kilometers of salt water, almost a third of which is dry at low tide. In 2002, this nature reserve was granted National Park status - the largest in the Netherlands.
The floodded banks and borders we call ``Schorren`` (The land you see in front)

This is so pretty and open looking and I love that sky.

[Esther Rosenberg]

This is so beautiful. I hope the fields are holding up with the heat.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Lovely! I'm glad it has become a national park to preserve its beauty.

@dutchothotmailcom It`s flooded ( less or more) twice a day by the tide.

Prachtig landschap. Mijn echtgenoot heeft ooit een liedje geschreven voor een Belgische zangeres met het woord 'schorren' er in. 'De schorren van de Durme'. We kunnen het liedje jammer genoeg nergens terugvinden.
