The Rusthof cemetery (Dutch: begraafplaats Rusthof is located in Oud-Leusden, Leusden municipality, Utrecht Province, Netherlands. It is the largest cemetery that services Amersfoort, which is 4 km south of. Therefore it is often called Amersfoort General Cemetery or Amersfoort (Old Leusden) Cemetery or other variants.

It is a partly civilian partly military cemetery. Buried there are the victims of World War II, including 238 soldiers and pilots killed in action from the British Commonwealth, Poland, Belgium and France, also World War II military victims from Yugoslavia, Greece, Hungary, Romania, Portugal, Czechoslovakia and Italy (World War I and II), as well as 865 soldiers from the Soviet Union,
A number of Soviet victims came from the nearby Kamp Amersfoort. The Soviet soldiers were eventually reburied in 1947/1948 from some other places in what is called “the Russian Honor Field” or “the Soviet Field of Glory”

Took a walk not long ago, to see the last bit of colours near to the bridge in my hometown.
There’s a waterreservoir there that has been there for years and I used to go beeing a little kid.
Loved swimming in it, even a bit more scared after they had told me how deep it was.
They had a brickfactory nearby and the sand that was used making those,came from the bottom of this “lake”.
A few years ago they started building houses round it but with the bad economy and recession and all, there are at this moment more plots laying empty then houses actually been build.
That’s on of the reasons it’s not much fun going down there anymore.A lot of wildlife has dissapeared and it is only a matter of waiting and seeing if they'[ll ever return…
Must admitt , the people who are currently moving into their houses do have an amazing view…That’s if they tend to look up as I did , and notice ,just in time, the osphrey didn’t let all that constructionwork ,chase him of…and neither should I 😉
The quality isn’t what I would have liked it to be , but am practising with a Nikor 300 on a Nikon D3100 at the moment , and still trying to get the hang o manual focusing…So a bit of playing was required 😉
