Vorig weekend trok ik met de studenten van een van mijn fotografieklassen naar Het Broek in Blaasveld,
een klein paradijs voor wandelaars en natuurliefhebbers. Enkele persoonlijke impressies.

Last weekend I travelled to Het Broek in Blaasveld, together with the  students in  one of my digital photography classes.
Over the next few days I’ll be posting some personal impressions of the domain.
