It was great weather, and this deskjockey had to get off his lazy butt and use his muscles again. So I did my 2 hour walk through the polder.
This is the Hania sluis (=lock). This was build in 1798. It was meant to let water go from the land at low tide and would be closed at high tide, so the land would not be flooded. Later in 1927 they changed the water outside of the lock also into land, making this slot unusable. So they removed the doors. The construction however is still there, although hanging by a thread as you can see. The sun was quite hash today, which made the contrast too harsh as well. But that's great in B&W, so that's what I turned this photo into. Looks a bit like a WW2 era photo, doesn't it?
Poppy in the polder...
A blue Heron, I liked the mirroring in the water.

Went to Amsterdam yesterday. For those few who don't know the city, here are some impressions
Been to Amsterdam many times. A beautiful city.

You know, we Dutch have a love-hate relationship with the city. I usually tend to say that if you've not been outside Amsterdam, you haven't really been in The Netherlands. Other cities like Delft, Leiden and Utrecht might not have the same international appeal as compared to Amsterdam, but I do believe they are at least as beautiful as the great city.
In my 27 years in Europe I have been fortunate enough to travel throughout the Netherlands. Beautiful country and wonderful people.

I don't know how many here have read Alexander Duma's "Black Tulip"! But descriptions on that book is what comes to my mind, when I think about The Nederlands.
