A dune lake on the Woudweg in Bergen was the inspiration for this image based on an infrared photograph on a beautiful summer day.
The atmosphere of the place is special, there are sometimes wild horses on the other side that then silently disappear into the woods again. Every day is different, every time has a different feeling.
The place has been photographed so many times, also by me, that this time I let loose a somewhat special and alienating treatment on it. The magic is brought to the fore and the atmosphere changes from a photograph to a dreamscape.
Yet the content of the image has not been tampered with, the sky, the water, the trees...everything was there and exactly like that, yet just like in a dream.
The Noordhollands Dune Reserve is rich in special places like this which, with a dune map, can only be reached by bicycle or on foot. By buying such a dune card, we contribute to the maintenance and preservation of a unique part of the Netherlands.
