The Achterhoek

We spent the weekend in the East, the 'achterhoek' to be precise, or literally, "the back corner" for those who aren't familiar with all of the Netherlands nooks and crannies. (East, in Twente, near the German border, where the girls look like milkmaids from Vermeer paintings and the cows have breathing room). Ron's parents were spending a week in a holiday park, as much of the Netherlands is wont to do. Its a culture thats still a bit of a shock to me but I can enjoy anything for a weekend! The autumn colours were amazing, and the famous Dutch light was everywhere, although I've still got no idea how to capture this on film, or pixels. I did manage the obligatory-autumn-berries shot though! Some photos here.
