Young dunes....

Primary dune formation takes place on the wide beaches of Ameland.

During a large supply of sand on the coast, a wide beach forms and a part of this sand remains behind obstacles such as seaweed, ropes and fish boxes.

A small freshwater lens develops in the resulting heap of sand and thanks to the nitro-rich decaying waste, colostrum grass and then marram grass will soon sprout to hold the sand.

The rounded dune tops in this image are about 2 meters high.
