swamp meadow Vlijmens Ven Moerputten Netherlands 102 PM 250327_1064
Spring day. The edge of marsh and naturally meadowland west of City of 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands. This area is part of the ‘Van Gogh Nationaal Park’.
It includes the areas ‘Moerputten’ and ‘Vlijmense Ven’. The area is also part of the European ‘Natura 2000’ project.

In front the fields and the Moerputten-swamp. To the left is the far highway, the city and a footpath over an old railway embankment.
The old railway track is called “the half sole line” (NL; halvezolenlijntje), because shoes used to be made along this track and because there were 39 stops on a 43 km long track and because all bridges were made for double track lines and only one track had been built. ‘Half a sole’ (halve zool) was someone who was foolish. So the construction of the track was foolish.
Hear you hear the moor-frogs (Rana arvalis) in a ditch at the edge of the marsh (Sounds like gently blowing through a straw into a half-full bottle of water).
