View over Markermeer - Limited Edition of 5 Photograph

This photograph is printed on Semi Matt Fine Art Pearl. Part of an ongoing landscape series photographed while hiking the 'Zuiderzee' trail. The trail is a 305 miles long round along Lake IJssel. Two thousand years ago Pomponius Mela, a Roman geographer, mentioned a complex of lakes at the current location of the Lake IJssel. He called it Lacus Flevo. During the 17th century, the former Zuiderzee dykes collapsed several times and plans were drawn up to eliminate the threat by draining the bay. In 1932 the Zuiderzee was closed off by the Afsluitdijk, a 20 miles dyke connecting Friesland and Noord-Holland on either side of the Zuiderzee. The Zuiderzee was no longer a sea inlet and was renamed IJsselmeer (Lake IJssel). Due to the shallowness of the IJsselmeer, the Markermeer and the bordering lakes, its cities and fishing villages remained mostly unspoilt.
