The character of my home region, Waterland, is found in the ever present water. Large parts of the region consist of land literally floating on water. The vegetation is dominated by reed beds, fresh green in Spring and a golden-brown in Autumn. To me, the beauty of this region with its wide landscape lies in the interplay of water and skies. The colour of the reeds underlining its moods. Different skies evoke different atmospheres. These four pictures show just that. I took them at roughly the same spot and yet their look and feel differ a lot.
