Aerial "Ijsseleye" (Ijsseloog)

I haven't used my drone very often this year, mainly because my other camera was more inviting, but maybe coming winter I will use my drone more often.

 

One of the nice things of a drone is that you can picture structures from height that you otherwise wouldn't see.

That is easy seeable with this picture of the "Ijsseleye".

 

The IJsseleye is an artificial island in the Ketellake (Ketelmeer, province of Flevoland, the Netherlands) used as a depository to store polluted silt. Most of the polluted silt was deposited in the Ketelmeer by the IJssel river between 1950 and 1990. Removal of silt soil from the Ketelmeer lake also aims to deepen the channel leading to the mouth of the IJssel to at least a depth of 3.5 m (11.5 ft), thus aiming to improve access to the river for navigation.
