In December 2024 we moved to this area where i'm living now and i'm still keep discovering new areas for my photography .
Today we went to an area where there is an old Steem pump that was used to make the land dry enough for agriculture .
We have many of those areas in my country because most of my country is below sealevel.
This is my entry for the #monomad challenge".
1 )The building on the left is the Modern pump instalation and on the right is the tower of the old steem powerd pump .
The steem engine is still operational and works for public views 8 times a year you can find more info on their website: https://www.stoomgemaal-arkemheen.nl/ unfortunitly they open up after April 1st so no photography from the inside of the building this time.
2 )On the other side of the dike is what used to be the Zuiderzee / South Sea
3 ) The wetlands around the old steem pump building , loads of birds are getting ready to nest here. I will go back here one day for bird photography and for timelaps photography . Not so many clouds today for that but it could also be a nice location for sunrise and sunset i need to test that out .
4 ) On top of the dike there is a bicycle path where you can also walk, maybe a nice track for 
5 ) All the land you see across the water used to be sea , all that land is hand made. Back in 1918 someone came up with the plan , and in 1967 the last dike was build you can find more about that project here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuiderzee_Works
6 ) And beside the dike underneath the water is a ruin of an old castle , bring your wetsuite and scubatank if you want to visit it .
