Colourful marsh (2020)

— This is an overview image of the little wetland area where the hopeful tree stands. The orange tree can be seen in the background on one of the previous photos.

 

The Westduinpark changes a lot during the seasons and this little corner of it shows it well, I think. It looks positively dead November to February when the absence of snow, which almost never falls in The Hague (sniff, says the Swede here), reinforces the barren impression. Then during the spring it comes to life gradually with the return of the warm sunlight.

 

By summer there's plenty going on both in and around the water. Birds and insects appear of course and the dunes biggest inhabitants, the Scottish Highland cattle, occasionally cool off here. Finally during the early autumn a real firework display of colours erupts, a nature's last hurrah before the monochrome apparent frigidity sets in again.
