Walking

Covering

Walking every street of my hometown, Amersfoort, while photographing every nook and cranny. Documenting the things I see along the way.

Previously called 'Things I Have Seen', this project is about 'Covering' an entire city through walking. Right now, we're focussing on my hometown in the Netherlands, Amersfoort, but who knows what cities we'll cover after this one?

Amersfoort

Curious to see my progress? The map below is an interactive and live (meaning I update it after every walk I do) overview of where I've been so far. More details coming soon. Oh, and you can also leave a comment if you want to.

My walks are documented in short form videos. You can find the most recent episode below, as well as all the other ones in de the dedicated playlist on YouTube.

Crossing

A walk from one edge of a city to the other — west to east, north to south. A straight line through a place to see what connects its opposite sides.

The Grebbe Line (Dutch: Grebbelinie) was part of the Dutch Waterline—a defensive system that used intentional flooding to hold back invaders. It stretched from the Grebbeberg near Rhenen all the way north to the IJsselmeer. It's a 91KM walk that took me two years to complete.
