More about this scene
This scene is worthy of a painting; it shows a typical windpump used to drain the reclaimed marshes. The reeds and rushes have grown high, and this area is famous for white water lilies, orchids and other flora which are in danger of extinction thanks to grazing animals. The family in the boat are enjoying sailing on a light breeze, and the boy on the bank is fishing, probably for tench, although eel catching is more popular.
