Staphorst - The Netherlands
Staphorst, Overijssel | the Netherlands, 2021
Overijssel. It’s especially on Sunday mornings that it becomes clear Staphorst’s kilometres-long dyke is really its lifeline. After leaving their farms on either side of the dyke, the villagers join a growing procession. The men walk together, and the women join their own separate groups. There is no talking, just thoughtful, almost solemn walking. Eyes largely locked to the ground while they stride on, upper bodies tilted slightly forward—especially those of the women, whose hips are padded underneath their skirts. This makes their entire walk to church look like the Staphorsters are determinedly fighting a headwind.
