In the Meijendel dunes I came across this small but nicely done statue honoring Dr. Victor Westhoff (1916-2001). After a bit of internet research, I found that he was a leading dutch botanist, ecologist, and conservationist. He first published in 1934 and remained active until his death. Apparently he was also a bit of a philosopher, and had a keen interest in psychology and religion. The statue honors his observation and writings about nature (if you look closely at the figure you can see that he's writing in a journal); the setting in the dunes seems very appropriate.

Excellent work. I like the whole idea of honoring those whose life work is/was to make others aware of our environment. The statue is wonderful. Your photo of it is really nice.
