I’m a travel photography professional from the Netherlands. I used to get bored when I came home. Usually going to spectacular cities or beautiful nature, I couldn’t really appreciate the simple things in my own country.
The Netherlands is pretty basic. We do not have high mountains, nor do we have high skyscrapers. Our land is totally flat, our buildings are not high, and locals might think Dutch landscapes are quite boring to capture compared to the scenery in other amazing countries. But there’s a lot of places to see in the Netherlands. Like any other country, we also have things that are unique. Think of windmills and our endless flower fields. I found ways to appreciate photography in my own country and tried to capture it in beautiful photos. This is the photo series I captured over a period of around one year.
I often get jealous messages on my Facebook about people that say they want to live in my country to make these beautiful travel photos. When I ask where are they from, it’s usually from countries like India or Myanmar. I am literally stunned. These places have so much incredible nature and tourist attractions waiting to be captured. Especially as locals, these people have endless possibilities! That’s what I am trying to show here. Do not get discouraged and think your own country is ‘boring.’ It’s not! Every country has unique places. Try to find your local beauty, go out, explore!

These rows of multiple colored hyacinths are unexpected as most think only tulips are grown in the Netherlands

Hy. I came from Romania and all i can say it is that you had a beautiful and a great country. So what if your countru does not have big mountains? The picture below are the most beautiful that i ever seen. I also have a cute country, if you could visit Romania you will see that. We have many good people here. Personal, i haven.t visit any country till now, iven i am 35 years, for me it is not affordable. Please excuse my english...i am not a good writer, but i understand 70-80% from english. You are a great photographer.

This must be in the south east, surely the only place with any hills?
ChrisJonker 9 years ago
This is the Grote Veluwe I presume. It's a natural park near Arnhem, which is located more in the east.

This is in a little city called Houten. Check out 'Rietplaats Houten' in Google earth. This place is real (though it is enhanced by photograpy)

Place called Marken. I believe these structures are there to break the ice when it is pushed towards the land to protect the houses near the lake.

Most of the pictures are overly processed. In reality, the Netherlands sky is grey and cloudy for most part of the year.
