August is the month of blooming heather. Before autumn changes the color palette in the forest, the heather will give the normally fairly colorless heathland a purple glow. The rolling landscape of National Park De Maasduinen combined with the purple heather, the light and shadows during sunrise make the nature reserves very beautiful and photogenic.
In August I also try to go out more to shoot in the early morning hours, just like in the fall. The purple glow is gone before you notice. An advantage of the wet summer this year is that the heather is blooming wonderful :)
