25KM from downtown Amsterdam part3

Took this photo from the observation spot at the Jan van der Boschpad just outside Almere on the edge of the nationalpark Oostvaardersplassen.

I am standig on the west side of the Oostvaardersplassen and the wind is comming from the eastside at about 5 beaufort, when it is around the freezingpoint, it felt terrible cold and that is why i have deep respect for the Red deer crossing this very cold water, the konikhorse look as being surprised as i am, and the big animals in the Oostvaardersplassen look like in very good health and there seems still plenty to eat for them, with the ruler in Google earth it is about 25km from the Central sation of Amsterdam.

 

my point is about 500 metres from the deer
