Meerpolder near Zoetermeer: fields, water and SnowWorld

The Meerpolder near Zoetermeer took me a while to appreciate as a photography location. Its open agricultural landscape sits beside the much larger outline of SnowWorld.

The rounded polder, grazing animals and waterways offered quieter subjects than the nearby city. Birds, including storks and egrets, added movement to the fields.

I found that carrying a camera changed how I looked at the area. What first appeared ordinary gradually became a landscape worth revisiting, with both rural details and a recognisable urban edge.
