Hollandse haltes

Bus stops and other public transport stops in towns, villages and remote corners of the Netherlands, from Hongerige Wolf to Biggekerke, with stops from every province. The photographs show the ordinary places where people wait, and the people who wait and work there in all kinds of weather, against polders, open countryside and melancholy rural settings. The pictures are by Werry Crone, staff photographer at the newspaper Trouw, and they record the variety of landscape and of travelling inhabitants. Between the photographs the book carries 17 columns by Martin Bril, who describes the atmosphere of wide polders and bleak country places, and an introduction by him. A photo book with texts about everyday Dutch life seen through its stops, in Dutch.
