Was at the Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie. Here a picture of the 'Werk aan de Groeneweg", a group of pillboxes and trenches near the river Lek, south of Houten.

The rest I will post in the 'Worldwar2 in your backyard" thread ;)
 
Lovely Marcel. Water shots are a weakness of mine. Our nature trails are hit or miss with Grizzly/Black bears so caution is needed. A young man was killed by a black bear just south of town last week while camping.

Last week I went back to my roots, Groningen, where I was born and raised before I left for the west. I was there for the airshow of Oostwold, pictures of which you can see elsewhere, but also was able to walk around in the area. I went to my old playgrounds at the 'Ennema Borg' in Midwolda. A borg is a little castle i Groningen. The Ennema Borg started as a fortified tower in the 14th century. The rear facade is still from that era. It now is a ;ittle castle, looking like an old villa with a huge entree and forrest around it. I used to come there quite often when I was in my early teens.

Front facade, tried some sepia effect. Works well, apart from the modern poles and flags :)

Rear facade, you can see parts of the old tower in the wall

The pond in the garden.. I actually need a polarisation filter, so I can get rid of the reflections on the leaf.

The backside used to be the entrance. You can still see the old entrance way.
