Rietdekkers by Henny

Posted on 2024-06-25

In Nederland doet men nog aan riet dakdekking… zeker in het noorden van nederland. Ik kwam deze rietdekker tegen bij de uitoefening van zijn ambacht in de Wieden..Bij het National Park de Wieden in Belt Schutsloot. Het riet wordt bij elkaar gebonden tot schoven en gaat op de vrachtwagen die levert in de hele wereld.

In the Netherlands straw roofing is still a craft. This man, the thatcher binds the straw together by hand. By truck it goes around the world.
I met him in the Wieden (Overijssel) where he was busy in the beautiful village of Belt Schutsloot.
Straw roofing is not cheap this days but nice and isolating..

Waterbassin/Water bassin by Henny

Posted on 2021-04-26

This is the waterbassin " Lange Vlieter" Today it was clear in colors how it works.
The water is entering in the left bassin ( 8 ha) from he canals. It is purifying and when it meets the average standard purification, it is transferred to the right side bassin ( 120 ha) where it stays for about 2 years. In the right bassin they control the progress of purification till it is ready as drinking water. The barrels in the middle controle the process..Of course no swimming, no boats but a peaceful " lake" were only ducks, rare birds and nature exists. I love this place and it is about 7 km to walk around.
A great project of Dutch watermanagement.

Posted on 2021-03-10

These Konikhorses live in the wild in several nature areas in the Netherlands. Most of the time together with Galloway cows. Originally they are from Poland. Their coat is rough and they are rather small. They live from everything they find in nature area, except in severe winters. These horses are very kind for humans, except when they have foals. I love them!

Vika by Henny

Posted on 2021-03-14

This is the story of Vika, our one-eyed cat! Not a regular cat, she had a bad start in life. Found on the road near her dead mother, with a terrible wounded eye.Probably she was used a a toy by a dog. She was transported to a veterinary and he could only remove her eye. She was brought to a animalshelter, and when she recovered, she came on the website. Nobody wanted her, because she was " damaged" and black! I found her and liked her immediately ( I love every cat) and we decided to have her live with us.She was 8 weeks old, anxious and scared. Now, 10 years later, she is the most wonderful cat there is.. She is a beauty, deep black, soft and gentle. We even do not see the eye missing. She plays, jumps, and is happy in the garden. She cannot see depth, so she does not trust herself outside in the street.
She hates the camera; when she sees me coming, she runs..Or..she puts her nose against the lens, to avoid taking a picture...
