Peat Bog Pool

This is one of the little pools in a peat bog near my home town in The Netherlands. Many people avoid this sort of landscape on their walks, but I think it is a beautiful and nicely quiet place:

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 28mm, ISO100, f8, 1/500s}

The white stuff you see is cottongrass (Eriophorum angustifolium):

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/320s}

Often bending in the wind:

^{Olympus XZ-1, 112mm, ISO400, f8, 1/400s}

I like to come here and photograph the butterflies and dragonflies, or just sit there and enjoy the quiet view.
