The nature reserve of Kampina has been the cradle of my passion for nature and birdwatching. Here I was wandering as a little boy with my binoculairs to find birds and to get away from the every day life. It is a very diverse landscape with heaths, moors, fens, forests and a natural stream. To the south of the reserve lies the area of Banisveld. A former agricultural area, it was transformed into new nature by scraping the top soil layer. Sheep were introduced as landscape engineers. This photo reflects my state of mind while walking in the area…….warmth, light, calmness, balance…. Who says nature has no value for human wellbeing?

Cheers,
