Sand drift on the Zuiderheide in Hilversum (Netherlands)

I recently visited the Zuiderheide in Hilversum (Netherlands) for the first time. I was struck by the beautiful sand drifts, the flowering heather and the characteristic trees.

During my visit, I was also surprised by a flock of sheep accompanied by a dog and shepherds. What a lovely sight, there amongst the heather. This flock from the Goois Nature Reserve also includes 16 goats. The shepherd told me that they’d started with six little ones. And that it had been quite a challenge to train them, especially as the dog is afraid of the goats. And they still manage to make a sudden dash for it. But what photogenic and funny animals! So I took lots of photos of them too, and a few are for sale here on this site.

But in this landscape photo, you can see one of the sand drifts set against a beautiful cloudy sky. In the distance, you can see the flowering heather and one of the characteristic trees. There’s a great sense of depth in this photograph.
This photograph would look great in a restaurant or café, but it would also suit a waiting room, treatment room or hospital. However, in a rustic interior, this photograph could also be hung on the wall as it is.
