The Netherlands-Lutje Schardam
View on pumping station C. Mantel, close to the village Schardam and lake Marken. In the year 2017 this station was put into operation by water board HHNK. The largest part of their management area in the Province North Holland (Schermerboezem) needed a third pumping station to ensure a stable water level. The stations' four pumps are able to process 2000 cubic metres per minute (about the content of an Olympic swimming pool). The station comes with a safe migration passage for fish. The last couple of (warm and dry) years indicate that from now on water inlet will be as important as water discharge. Image made with kite and camera (attached to the kite's line). © Tom Kisjes

The Netherlands-Polder Westzaan
Regularly I explore the botanical treasures of the Polder Westzaan; mostly on parcels with a swampy soil, spread out over this Natura 2000 reserve. I enjoy soaking up their distinct smell, due to plant species like Sweet vernal grass (Anthoxanthum odoratum-gewoon reukgras). In my humble opinion it is also rewarding to explore them from above, with kite and camera, attached to my kite's line and hanging only 2 till 5 metres above ground level. In Polder Westzaan there's only one parcel where one can find the pink flowering Cross-leaved heath (Erica tetralix-gewone dophei). The red color of Common sundew (Drosera rotundifolia-ronde zonnedauw) is also recognizable here, as well as the bright green peat mosses (Sphagnum sp.-veenmos) and the darker green hair mosses (Polytrichum sp-haarmos). © Tom Kisjes
