By reclaiming land from the sea the old dikes are often ( most ) not removed . They are still in use as a second barrier to save the country. We call them: ``Slapersdijken `` Sleepers dikes. This is such a sleepers dike. Instead of usual the road is not on, but beside the dike. The ditch is essential in the system of removing water out of the polder.
What a great shot! The trees and roadway are lined up just in the right spot in the photo. I like the way the clouds look as though they are moving away from the camera.
Another well detailed photo, with some very interesting information about your Country...I especially like how all the trees are in a very straight line, and the plowed field seems to be ready for planting....great shot Pyrrhula!
