Rietdekkers

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..
