Village and vacation homes are strung along the southwest side of the Ijselmeer inland sea just north of Amsterdam. The homes appear be to just below sea level, and are located just behind the dike that separates what were once tidal mud flats from what is now a vast inland sea of brackish water.
This photograph is part of a project that examines the global impact of rising sea levels, and the ways different countries and communities are engineering solutions to this growing problem.
