Trees in the morning mist are reflected in the flat water of one of the fens in the Hatertse and Overasseltsevennen near Nijmegen. Fog always has something mystical in a landscape. This photo was taken in the Hatertse fen on a foggy morning. The sun had just risen, but couldn't get the fog away yet. Because it was almost windless, the water in the fens reflects the landscape on the other side. The fog provides a clear and diffuse light. In the Overasseltse and Hatertse Vennen each season has its own colour and scent. In autumn, the red glow of plants and foliage dominates. In summer, the plumes of wool grass and peat fluff wave in the wind. Pine scent stimulates the nose. In winter, the landscape reveals its vastness. But the rolling river dunes, dark fens and heathland are beautiful every season. For people from Nijmegen, this is the closest nature reserve that people like to use.
