A colourful enjoyment of this beautiful moorland.
Heath or heather is a name for vegetation consisting mainly of dwarf shrubs in the heather family.
Heather is found in a limited number of countries.
Apart from the Netherlands and Belgium, it is also found in the coastal strip of Western Europe, Britain and Ireland. It is a typical vegetation that feels at home in regions with a maritime climate, with high humidity and not too hot summers and not harsh winters.
The natural distribution of heathland vegetation consists of decalcified parts of the dune landscape (especially in the northern Netherlands), mountains above the tree line and the edges of bogs. Inland heathland is a cultivated landscape created by nutrient extraction through grazing and ploughing of sandy soils.[1]
Pollen-analytical studies show that heathland vegetation always occurred in the interior as well, but the large treeless heaths and sand drifts were created by the intensification of sheep farming during the Middle Ages.[2]

But also on my way to work, an appointment or holiday, I see shots everywhere that work well 'on the wall', online..
