Netherlands has a typical landscape
I have lived in the same Dutch province of North Brabant all my life. Is it a beautiful province in the Netherlands? When I sometimes hear people talking, I hear that they love the Netherlands. That it is a beautiful country, and that they like the Dutch nature. What strikes me most is that the Netherlands has such a typical landscape.
Open meadows and forests
In my daily environment, I don't really see much more than open meadows and forests. And while I'm glad I don't live in a busy city where my daily view is a mass of concrete. Sometimes it is downright boring in my eyes to look at a field full of grass and a forest edge every day. Of course, you really live with the 4 seasons, but even those changes don't make my own living environment a great living environment for landscape photography.
But, The Netherlands is a water country right?
Because I haven't had many opportunities to go further from home in recent years, my collection of landscape photos has thinned out quite a bit. And that's a shame, because despite the fact that I look 'drooling' at landscape photos from other countries, the Netherlands also has a lot to offer for landscape photography.
Unfortunately, I don't have much water in my immediate vicinity. But that is actually strange. The Netherlands is not big, and is known as a water country!
The polder with the dikes
And that can be seen in these photos. A typical Dutch polder landscape. The floodplains that run underwater during times when the river De Maas once again overflows its banks. The dikes that have to hold back the water, and the tension of the residents whether the water will not go over the dike this time, and their home will flood.
Below sea level
The Netherlands is largely below sea level, so traditionally solutions had to be found to keep feet dry. Mills, dykes, overflow areas, land reclamations that have resulted in a completely new province being reclaimed. The Delta Works, are a world wide known invention from the Dutch.
The Dutch have been inventive, and the history of the Netherlands will always be inextricably linked with water.

The colours on these are lovely and I especially like the first one, it's beautiful composition with the traversing horizontal lines.
It also has a windmill, which was my first association with the Netherlands when I was a child. My grandfather lived and worked in Germany, and the journey to visit him was from Harwich in East Anglia to the Hook of Holland, then a long drive through the Netherlands.
Parts of East Anglia are very similar to the Netherlands - Kings Lynn in Norfolk has a lot of Dutch architecture - and all round the Fens and down to Ely there are land reclamation projects from the Middle Ages onwards.

I just came home from a trip to Rotterdam, the landscape is super flat. I really loved the streetart in Rotterdam and the diversity of humans roaming around in the city. The market hall is such an impressive building.
Found your post on Listnerds

Yes, The Netherlands is super flat. I haven't been much to Rotterdam myself. I'm living in south of the Netherlands. But I can remember the streetart there, and that is beautiful. For me, Rotterdam is much too crowded. Lol.
Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day.

Your photographs are beautiful and they do show the beauty of your place. Good to read more about Netherlands :)
Thank you, your compliment is appreciated. I should go out more often again.
Enjoy some !PIZZA
These lanscape photos are so beautiful. I understand why the Netherlands is a good tourist delight. Their environment is so colourful.
Thank you for the compliment, The Netherlands can be beautiful. I think for many tourists it's a good place to be, for more than just the environment.

The Dutch sky is something worth seeing in person!

When one see's the same landscape day in and day out it seems boring.It's outside of your comfort zone that it really is a photographers dream.It must be hard with covid and everything when one can't move very far.When one can travel the sights one can see will be new again.Love the photos btw. Found you on Listnerds.
That's exactly what is happening, but I honestly believe that looking out over de sea would never bore me. I know that the flat landscapes of The Netherlands are a photographers dream to many, but I dream from mountains, palmtrees and tropical seashores. Ah well, who knows. Maybe in the future.

Beautiful photos @hetty-rowan - almost like paintings.
Thank you @momogrow, much appreciated.

lovely photos. I didn't realise holland was below sea level, I thought it was the same level.
Thanks for the compliment. The lowest point of the Netherlands is 22 feet below sea level. About 1/3 of the country is below sea level. And the highest point of the Netherlands is about 1000 feet above sea level.

Back in the Dutch Mountains for the first time in 4 years and indeed it has it´s charm...definitely. !CTP
Hope you will have an awesome time in the Dutch Mountains. It does, but the landscape is about the only thing that has its charms ... 😳
Okay, de kruisbessen ook! !CTP
Kruisbessen definitely although I could not get them, but sunset at the strand was amazing yesterday.
Nu ben ik jaloers, lol! Ben al in geen eeuwen op het strand geweest. Brabant ligt er te ver vandaan met die onbeschoft hoge benzineprijzen van nu.
Ja ik weet het, jaren in Brabant gewoond en bijna nooit meer naar het strand. Maar het was heerlijke en rustig ;)
Dat is een feit, zeker op het brabantse platteland ... maar soms is het wel TE rustig.
Ik heb jaren op een Spaanse berg gewoond, ik heb wel iets met te rustig maar zocht ook nog een uitdaging....maar na 10 jaar uitdaging droom ik weer over die berg.
