Netherlands Dutch 'Polder' view (cultivated water / meadow)

It's about the Dutch word "Polder". According to Wikipedia: A polder (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈpɔldər] (About this sound listen)) is a low-lying tract of land enclosed by dikes that forms an artificial hydrological entity, meaning it has no connection with outside water other than through manually operated devices.

What you see here is a straight canal, drawn to canalise the water that would otherwise be on the land that has now gotten dry. On the land, there is typically grass, with cattle on it during early Spring until early Autumn.

There are many ways to enjoy this area. Focus on the cattle, or try to make minimalistic images. Especially at sunrise, this place is beautiful.

A car is essential. When taking the A20 motorway, take exit nr. 7 (Maassluis) and the road towards this spot is almost directly at the end of the exit (depending from which direction you come). You can park the car next to the road, as there is not much traffic.
