Capricious age of a tree - Strypemonde (Rockanje/NL)
Capricious age of a tree, it shows many years of growth in the most special forms. The branches in beautiful contrast as a work of art by nature.
Quote: Zelfs de bomen lijken zich al klaar te maken voor #Halloween in het Voornse #landschap.

Rockanje: Strypemonde Nature reserve
A nice walk on this 100-hectare Strypemonde estate leads you through a beautiful varied forest and past a flowery forest meadow and many special trees, such as the Metasequoia Glyptostroboides and exotic oaks. The former owners of the then 2000 hectare estate were shipowners, they brought many cuttings and seeds from abroad and they still grow here. The area is also rich in tawny owls, long-eared owls and woodpeckers and you will find many mushrooms in the autumn.
The name Strypemonde comes from a wide creek, the Strype, which flowed into the sea here in the Middle Ages and which was later dammed. The hunting lodges Olaertsduin and Strypemonde (anno 1930) are national monuments and the Schaapskooy is a municipal monument.
