Caption:
The barn of a dairy cattle farm stands close to a ditch in polder landscape in the Netherlands, bordering pasture. Some snow from a recent shower still lies on the ground. In these reclaimed areas water levels are artificially controlled so people can live and work there. This often centuries-old interaction between man and water has produced a rich variety of polder landscapes with their own cultural identity and spatial, functional, and ecological characteristics.
