THIS IS OUR NATURE is about landscape and nature in a rural environment. Growing up and living in the countryside is developing an own attitude in a person. Children grown up in a rural environment have another view on landscape, nature, space and live than children in urban regions. The personal nature is strongly related to the landscape in which one has grown up. A naturally way of exploring the individual relation with this landscape and nature is a great experience to develop the awareness of the own roots.
