In High over Holland, aerial photographer Karel Tomeï shows the Netherlands at its best. Tomeï has an eye for perfect compositions. He makes the world an abstract place, dividing its surface into the pieces of a fascinating and provocative puzzle. When you look at the Netherlands from the air, you see new and special connections. The country and its people fit together in ways that you would never have imagined. What do you see? Certainly, the beauty of the country as never seen before. And perspectives: all kinds of perspectives that are at both unusual and new. As the photographer takes the reader on a flight of fantasy, historian Han van der Horst's text is down to earth as he paints, in his own inimitable way, a fascinating picture of Dutch society and the Dutch mentality. The words and pictures combined make High over Holland a very special book indeed.
