Just a few miles away from Elswout, the
Amsterdam water company is maintaining a
vast natural reserve that was created to
secure a steady supply of fresh water to
the Dutch capital, with the dunes acting
as a natural filter. It is now one of
Holland’s most exciting natural areas,
famed for its deer, foxes and
cormorants.
I tracked these deer for close to two
hours, as they trekked across the snowy
hills. All they showed me were their
behinds, but sometimes that’s just
enough...
