The Amazing Oostvaardersplassen
 |
| From Neve 2013 |
Each year, the landscape offers breathtaking views and incredible snapshots opportunities.

In spite of the cold - and yesterday was freezing because of the wind -, here and there, photography lovers try to take their best snapshots. Not always easy. Yesterday, I felt my hands burning with the cold - I had forgotten my gloves without tips in another jacket.

I had to stop shooting once in a while, to put on my fleece gloves to warm up a bit and then, again, take them off, so I could try another shot. Looking at the peer, I took my chance - in spite of the wind - and went there for a walk. For some moments, when I was trying to shoot, I felt like if I was in a shaking boat.

We really needed to warm up by then and we drove afterwards to Almere Poort, looking for a cafe. We spotted the Cafetaria De Heerlijkeid and we stopped there to enjoy a coffee and a toast. Delicious! It felt so good!

I would have liked to take more pictures yesterday,

but I decided to warm my hands up, instead, as you may understand ;-)

Oostvaardersplassen: the first travel of the year
Oostvaardersplassen is a nature reserve in the Netherlands, covering about 5,600 hectares (56 km2), located between the youngest city of the country, Almere [the first house was finished in 1976] and Lelystad, the capital of Flevoland, the central province of the Netherlands, established on the 1st January 1986, at the location of the former Zuiderzee, a shallow bay of the North Sea in the northwest of the country.
We went there last Sunday and I took some photos along the Markermeer, a lake in the central Netherlands in between North Holland, Flevoland and the IJsselmeer, its larger sibling.
The lake is named after the small former island, now peninsula, of Marken that lies within it.
Oostvaardersplassen has been awarded with the European Nature Conservation Diploma.
The Council of Europe awarded, in this way, the international significance of this nature reserve.
Oostvaardersplassen was the third Dutch nature reserve to receive this Diploma.
As a consequence of the growing numbers of rare and unusual birds for which it provides a habitat, Oostvaardersplassen is compared with the Camarge in France and the Coto Donana in Spain.
We went to a little cottage to watch some of the birds of this nature reserve...
Here we can find the Great Cormorant, the Common Spoonbill, the Great Egret, the White-tailed Eagle and the Eurasian Bittern, among many others.
Walking on the paths which surrounded the cottage, I remembered of some photos Patricia had taken in Patagonia...
After the stroll in the wet area, we went to the dry area, De Praambult.
Here we can watch Konik horses, the red deer and Heck cattle. These large grazing animals are kept out in the open all year round without supplemental feeding, and are allowed to behave as wild animals (without, for example, castrating males).
We finished our stroll where we had begun, along the Markermeer...:-)
Oostvaardersplassen, now isolated in the polder of Flevoland, will be connected to other nature reserves by a corridor to be created nearby, in Horsterwold. In 2015, the new network of "Oostvaardersland" will be part of the European-wide habitat network Natura 2000.
I hope you have enjoyed our first travel of the year, so close to our home...
What are the main beauties of your surroundings? What do you advise to visit?
