This aerial photograph captures the flooded landscape of the Millingerwaard, a nature reserve along the River Waal in Gelderland, the Netherlands. From above, the scene looks abstract: trees appear as floating shapes, their branches blending with the deep blue reflections of the sky. The still water mirrors clouds and light, erasing the boundary between air and land. The Millingerwaard is part of the Gelderse Poort, a rewilded river landscape where former farmland has been transformed into wetlands and riparian forest. During the winter months, high water levels flood the area, creating a temporary mosaic of islands, pools, and trees standing in the current. I was drawn to this moment of calm and balance — where nature takes back space, and the forces of water and vegetation create new patterns. The photograph reveals the quiet rhythm of the Dutch river delta, a place that changes with every season but always carries a sense of continuity and renewal.
