From the Back Cover
EN - In Below Sea Level, photographer Ewout Huibers captures the Netherlands in every season and includes some remarkable highlights and places well below sea level.Almost one quarter of the Netherlands' surface is made up of drained inland lakes and land reclaimed from the sea. In such a densely populated country, every piece of land is cherished. In Ewout Huibers' stunning photographs, the ever-present water plays a natural leading role.
The Dutch people have lived with water for centuries and half of the country still lies below sea level, or Amsterdam Ordnance Datum, as it is officially known. Below Sea Level is a painstaking visual study of the land that the down-to-earth and industrious Dutch people have worked hard to create. And their work will never end.
NL - In Below Sea Level legt fotograaf Ewout Huibers heel Nederland vast in elk seizoen met ongekende hoogtepunten en plekken ver onder de zeespiegel. Bijna een kwart van het landoppervlak van Nederland bestaat uit leeggepompte binnenmeren en drooggelegde zee. Elk stukje land wordt gekoesterd in een land dat ook nog eens dichtbevolkt is. Het alomtegenwoordige water is een natuurlijke hoofdpersoon in de heldere foto's van Ewout Huibers.
Nederlanders leven al eeuwen met het water, en nog steeds ligt de helft van Nederland onder de zeespiegel, beneden het Normaal Amsterdams Peil (NAP). Below Sea Level is een minutieuze visuele studie naar het land van de nuchtere en nijvere Nederlanders, die leven in een land dat nooit af is.
