Light play in autumn forest was photographed on the Prince Willemsberg in the Hof te Dieren. The Hof te Dieren is an estate owned by the Twickel foundation in Delden. It is sandwiched between the river IJssel, the town of Dieren and the national park Veluwezoom. The Veluwezoom is the lateral moraine in the southeast corner of the Veluwe, the Netherlands' largest contiguous nature reserve.
Those walking from Dieren to the Posbank or to Velp - a well-known NS hiking route - pass through the Hof te Dieren. First there is the ascent to the Carolina mountain and a few kilometres further to the higher Prince Willemsberg. From there, it goes evenly downhill into the Veluwezoom to the Carolinahoeve a well-known stopping point on this walking route.
The historic avenues in the Hof te Dieren are lined on both sides with a double row of beech trees. These beeches are often many hundreds of years old. When there is a little vapour or mist in the forest, the low sun falling between the beeches often produces beautiful sun harps as in this photo.
