The Netherlands-Wervershoof
This series, made with kite and camera (attached to the kite's line) at the Koopmanspolder project about water storage, water level management and fish migration, clearly shows the significance of a birds' eye view.
Ramon (Kappix) and I had a pleasant evening here, preceded by an Asian meal in Wervershoof :0)

The Netherlands - Zaanstad
View on a part of nature reserve Westzijderveld.
Common rush (Juncus effusus - Pitrus) grows in large clumps at the water's edge along streams and ditches, but can be invasive anywhere with moist soil. It is commonly found growing in humus-rich areas like marshes, ditches and fens. The species provides wildfowl and wader feeding and nesting habitats, and also habitats for small mammals, like the tundra vole. In this (western) part of the Netherlands, the tundra vole (Noordse woelmuis) is a relic from the ice age and has developed to the subspecies Microtus oeconomus arenicola.

Koninklijke Verkade is a Dutch manufacturing company. The company is headquartered in Zaandam and was one of the oldest existing family companies in the Netherlands until its takeover in 1990 by British United Biscuits, which in turn was taken over in 2006 by Blackstone Group and PAI Partners. Originally founded in 1886 by Ericus Verkade to make mostly bread and rusk, it expanded to produce cookies, sweets, and, especially, chocolates. This image is made with kite and camera (attached to the kite line).
