Lage Zwaluwe, North Brabant, Netherlands
riverside NL EU 2025 pack 6

Riverside ambiance. Where the Merwede, Amer, and Holland Diep converge west of the village of Lage Zwaluwe in the Netherlands, the microphones stands at the water’s edge. On the wide river mouth, a small boat carrying a sport fisherman sails by, heading toward a promising spot. The little waves lap against the rocks.


About the picture
About the picture The image captures the waterscape where the rivers Merwede, Amer, and Holland Diep converge in the Dutch river delta. In the foreground, the shoreline is visible with boulders and some vegetation.
In the middle of the frame lies a small island with green foliage, offering a tranquil focal point in the wide expanse of water.
The long Moerdijk bridges, supported by multiple pillars, span the water in the distance. These bridges connect the two provinces of North Brabant and South Holland.
Behind the bridge, wind turbines are visible, indicating a modern and sustainable approach to energy in the region.
The sky is clear and nearly cloudless. The water is calm, with small waves lapping against the rocks.
