Waddenzee

Cycling back

I love the contrast in these two pictures... the light blue and deep green... beautiful!

Afsluitdijk

Open sea...

Afsluitdijk monument

A boulder used to construct the dike. These are imported from Germany, and weigh 3 tonnes!
Look at the size compared to a human being

This chart shows the materials they used to build the dike

Afsluitdijk II

One of the two locks on the Afsluitdijk that allows ships to pass through

The water on that side is the fresh water lake.

This side is the open sea.

Sneek

You see these two ducks (mal in front, and female next to pole)... they just had sex!
I saw it... the male was sitting on top of the female, looked as if he was trying to drown her. And after a minute or so, the male duck swam away, and the female started to clean herself.
The male just swam off... "wham, bam, thank you madam!"

Leeuwarden V

This statue is dedicated to the many women and girls who during WWII transported valuable food and supplies throughout the city...

Leeuwarden is such a city of contrasts... old and modern together!
