Bijlmerweide (BijlmerMeadow) and Diemerbos (DiemenWoods) are for me the most close natural area's. From where I live, it's only a ten-minute walk to Bijlmer Meadows. Both natural areas are connected by a footbridge (Veeneikbridge) over the Weespertrekvaart channel and are part of the 'Green Belt' around Amsterdam. Together they form my 'local patch': the place I am most familiar with and go to most often to enjoy and photograph nature.
