A close-up, eye-level photograph captured in Zaandijk, Netherlands, depicts an insect hotel constructed from a circular wood slice. The wood slice, light brown with visible grain and annual rings, measures approximately 15-20 cm in diameter and is perforated with numerous drilled holes of varying sizes, predominantly concentrated towards its center. A vertical crack is present on the lower portion of the wood slice. It is suspended by a small metal eyelet and a loop of blue cord from the peak of a prominent black wooden picket fence post. This fence post features a sharply pointed, triangular top. A horizontal black fence rail is visible directly below the insect hotel. Beyond the fence, a tranquil, grey body of water is present, bordered by green reeds and tall grasses. On the distant bank across the water, a cluster of residential buildings with diverse architectural styles is visible, interspersed with trees. The sky is uniformly overcast with grey clouds.
