As a Dutch travel photographer, I must confess that I photograph very little in the Netherlands. The windmills in Kinderdijk have never really attracted me. As a straightforward Limburger, living in Spain, I did enjoy going to Zoutelande when I still lived in the Netherlands. But when I photographed, it was usually in the Meuse Valley in the Dutch Belgian border area.

For a project of the municipality of Stein, I photographed for a book to illustrate the local national anthem. Under the title “Maaskenjt Leed,” I made a video production and photographed the beauty of the Maas Valley.

The target audience for these photos is anyone who wants to see the beauty of the Meuse Valley. The images introduce you to the unique landscape, tranquility and atmosphere of this beautiful region. From rolling hills to meandering rivers, the Meuse Valley has it all.

Due to my limited photography at home, I still want to touch the beauty of the Netherlands. This is to inspire people to explore their own country. It is often the case that we forget how beautiful our own country can be because we are always focused on exotic destinations abroad. But the Netherlands has so much to offer, both in terms of nature and culture.
