Heron Spot
The Netherlands, Oestgeest – December 2019
The theme for the weekly Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #78 is ‘spot’
Show a special spot in a shot is the brief.
In front of our house is a small canal that is looked upon from the kitchen window. The animals and the canal are, just as plants and flowers in the front garden, sometimes subject in my photographs. Here is a recent visitor: a Heron.

I agree about those canals – you have so many! Lucky having one just outside your window. Do you think he is spotting something?

We have indeed a lot of canals in sizes and and shapes to get the water to the sea. Being below sea level makes it necessary, I have not see him with a catch but he is very sharp and focused!

The canals in the cities and between the cities are old infrastructure for boats and goods. But in a polder (a plot of land surrounded by dykes where the soil level is lower than the sea) we need smaller ones to get water out. To put it in bigger ones that bring it to the sea. I have a video somewhere that shows it beautiful. I look it up.

I know – your people have done a wonderful work to regain land from the sea.
