Wetlands, Biesbos by pyrrhula

Wetlands, Biesbos

Last week I visset a very big wetland (the biggest in Holland) named the ``Biesbos or Biesbosch`` and have a tour on it. It`s all a group of islands and watercreeks
For who`s interrested in details and history please vissit Wikipedia They have done it better than I ever can
Lovely. The early summer foliage has an almost lacy appearance.

Good landscape! This speaks to me of my home state. We have creeks with islands. In fact, the scene in your picture looks so much like the creeks here. Question: What is White Sunday? You mentioned that it is White Sunday weekend in your description of yesterday's picture.

Yes Pyrrhula I was wondering too what White Sunday means..your picture of the Biesbosch looks beautiful...I have been in Holland two times for a short 1 day visit each but didn't get to see much of the country,

@daisy @bruni . Pinksteren in Dutch Is a christian day of the holy spirit. My dictionary translate it Whitsun(tide) Pentecost and the day after Whit Monday

@jenrobcarr There are many, I have been told. But they fly away as soon as the see/hear you and I don`t have a tele. There are cabins for watching /pic. the birds I only was there for a few hours

That looks like quite a bend in the river :) Lots of different plants growing there too. (In the UK White Sunday is called Whitsun, not sure about anywhere else in the world).

wonderful pic. Ik begrijp je uitleg en ben het helemaal met je eens. hoop niet dat je het erg vond! was als tip bedoeld en geen kritiek :) Zelf ben ik ook maar een amateur en door goed te kijken wat anderen doen en zelf veel te oefenen leer ik veel. groetjes

I love the huge skies and wide horizons you have in your flat country. you capture the sense of wide-open spaces so well.
