![]() ‘Cloud Reserve Wadden Sea’ is a double-edged geography recognized as an extension by UNESCO as well as authorized by the Cloud Appreciation Society.Ĭloud Reserve is rather ephemeral and geographically short-lived. The Reserve will provide opportunities to better explore the Wadden Sea’s distinguished educational feature–“better” because so far the official UNESCO file of World Heritage Wadden Sea describes this seascape only as a flattened, wafer-thin, watery layer of the earth only 30 meter thick: from 15 meter above NAP to 15 meter below NAP. The installation of ‘Cloud Reserve Wadden Sea’ will be realized knowing that the partnering with UNESCO World Heritage serves educational, scientific and cultural purposes including the culture of curiosity. Carefully selected experiments for observations in specific locations will be activated. The project’s purpose is to enhance the appreciation of the atmosphere as a part of UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea. This agrees with our ‘Cloud Reserve Wadden Sea’ intention to create awareness of the cloud sky as a splendid and enriching spectacle specific for time and location. The Wadgasten/Wetland Wanderers project corresponds with UNESCO’s mission “to stimulate the intellectual dimension of travel” at the Wadden Sea. These diverse light genres add color to the passing “water” – to wetland-wandering rain, snow and fog in all different shapes and volumes, now saturated by Atlantic bacteria, then by Cariban microbes and, not to forget, always tasting of the silt of the ocean. We would be able to observe within its globular inner space something like the Dutch Light and regional variations such as the German Light, the Danish Light, and in the far distance the British Light and the Norwegian Light as well as, even farther away, the Northern Light. Now assume that ‘Cloud Reserve Wadden Sea’ becomes an installation shaped like a dome, flattened or not. A reward will be the manifestation of ‘the big five’: Cumulonimbus calvi, Altocumulus lenticularis, Altocumulus fluctus, Asperitas and the Horseshoe cloud. Being carefully selected, our Reserve is just made for the observation of the eleven cloud genera. This geographic differentiation of the unique concept Cloud Reserve, a virtual dome in the sky (or a continuation of domes), will be called Cloud Reserve Wadden Sea.Ī cloud reserve is a transnational air space evocating the cloud mass to attract attention to the significance, benefit and inevitability of clouds. The project is: to explore the possibility of “installing” a temporary ‘Cloud Reserve’ as a vertical extension of the Wadden Sea in 2019, this sea since 2009 being a transnational NL – DE – DK – UNESCO World Heritage, which status was extended in 2014. On this crossroads a new project was started: Cloud Reserve Wadden Sea. Bart Bomas’ initiative titled Cloud Reserve crosses the path also called Wadgasten/Wetland Wanderers initiated by Jeroen van Westen and Jan de Graaf.
