Fons Heijnsbroek - 'Photos Dutch Light'

Fons Heijnsbroek - Photos Dutch Light

I love the dynamic Dutch light, it is also visual food to me. Dutch light reflects everywhere in the waters and on the grounds around me. It gives the cities and the land its color. Here you find pictures of this 'Dutch light'. This famous light still exists; but it is changing by the climat-change; it evolves more mediteranian.
