About the artwork

Polder landscape Arkemheen in Nijkerk. At the end of the afternoon there were beautiful clouds to be seen.

Polder Arkemheen is one of the oldest polders in the Netherlands, located near the Gelderland town of Nijkerk in the municipalities Nijkerk and Putten. The polder came into being after Duke Reinoud III of Gelre granted the right to dike the area on 28 March 1356. In 1863, a scoop wheel windmill was put into use for the drainage of the polder,[1] and twenty years later, a scoop wheel steam pumping station replaced it. Like the mill, it was named after Duke Reinoud, the Stoomgemaal Hertog Reijmout. Later the name was changed to Stoomgemaal Arkemheen.

The polder is exceptional because there has never been any land consolidation. The original land division structure is still present with winding ditches that originated as channels of the tidal streams of the Zuiderzee. On the landward side of the former sea dikes, there are gullies and reed marshes that were created by dike breaches. The last dike breach occurred in 1916.

Since 2004 the area is part of the National Landscape Arkemheen-Eemland. A protected Natura 2000 area has been designated under the name of Arkemheen. Many birds can be seen in the polder, including the bittern and the great egret as well as meadow birds such as the black-tailed godwit. (wikipedia)
