Series taken during a late afternoon visit to the mill that drains the polder "Dorregeest", together with an electrically pumping station. This mill (1896 AD) replaced an earlier one, that was struck by lightning in 1895. A-14-year old daugther of miller Deijle lost her life on that occasion.

Netherlands, Uitgeest.
Session with kite and camera on grounds managed by "De Hooge Weide" foundation. Their aim is to protect and preserve nature reserves in the Castricummerpolder. They achieve great success with a.o. high water level and no (or at the most little) fertilization. A rich birdlife and vegetation is their reward. The images show the flowering Greater Yellow-rattle (grote ratelaar-Rhinanthus angustifolius), a semi-parasitic plant on grasses.

The picturesquely situated Dorregeester mill revisited. After a night with mild icy temperatures the frost on the grass slightly fades its green color. The early sunlight provides the reed beds with a striking signature. Image made with kite and camera (attached to the kite's line). © Tom Kisjes
