Where the wind always blows........
This is one of the old salt marshes on the east side of the Dutch Wadden island of Ameland.
Here the sea has free acces during high tide to the land that was conquered from hundred of years ago in a primitive way.
The salt marsh is cleaved with creeks that are very deep due to the abrasive effect of the sea water being drawn in and out.
The grazing takes place by flocks of sheep.
The wind on the Wadden island of Ameland and the other Wadden islands has a predominant force of 4 Beaufort, but during heavy north-western storms the wind can reach wind force 12!
During these severe storms, a ferocious surf engulfs this salt marsh........
