"Flax River" Lieven Detemmerman
A few weeks ago, I discovered the beautiful nature in Bavikhove-Ooigem, surrounding an old meander of the River Leie. This nature area is part of a bigger project Seine-Schelde which includes in addition to shipping infrastructure, also river restoration measures, such as nature-friendly reinforcement of banks and the restoration of fauna and flora like this old meander of the river Leie.
I enjoyed capturing the beautiful nature very early in the morning with rising sun, wisps of mist and the old flax factory building.
