Artwork Title: The Drowned Lands of Saeftingen

The Drowned Lands of Saeftingen, 2010

Evert Schut

On the Westerschelde estuary, just north of the Dutch/ Belgium border lies a stroke of wetland called "the drowned lands of Saeftingen". The tidal currents are large here and have formed spectacular estuarian landscapes. The plants and animals that dwell here are adapted to an environment which can suddenly change from fresh water to salty. The saltiness determines which plants grow where. In summer some of these plants turn deep red. You can see in which season the Google Earth satellilte images have been taken by the colours of the vegetation.
