Hoge Dijk-collection
Amsterdam-Abcoude, the Netherlands

Into a blue iris dream…

Photo made in the herb garden at ‘Zon Alom’ – centre of the Nature Association “de Ruige Hof” , an organisation that works for the preservation of two natural area’s in Amsterdam South East: “Klarenbeek”, a part of the Hoge Dijk, and the “Riethoek” (Reed Corner) .
This beautiful patch of blue irises seemed to be dreaming in the warm morning sun, and dragging the viewer into their dream…

The “Hoge Dijk” (High Dike)
is a natural area in the South of Amsterdam SouthEast, adjacent to Abcoude ( Google Maps )
There are large water parts and lots of reed lands and low bushes, and wooded area’s.
Just like the Reed Corner (Riethoek) it’s a very precious natural ecosystem close to the highly populated neighbourhoods of Amsterdam SouthEast.
