A little old farmhouse up against the dike

This is a very common place to build the houses, for sure in the past. Often there is a side road/ exit from the dike road to the entrance.

Cute, but not much sun?

@dide No, but a good shelter against strong winds . That was alway`s a priority.

[Beryl Lloyd]

So well sheltered from the elements !

[KWind]

It's so cute!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

[Anja]

Mooi, met die gekartelde dakrand.

[sally agnew]

Lovely capture, nice and private :)

[Denise Wood]

Amazing! The roof is level with the road!

First one for me. never saw anything like it before. but very practical, I guess.

[Margo]

Doesnt get flooded does it?

Lovely shot and interesting information, Pyrrhula.

I've seen them like this...super photo, Ferry.

Really gives perspective to how high a dike is. I see houses low like this against the road sometimes when we ride through the mountains.

Always interesting photo.

This picture really shows how far below sea level you really are! I know the yogart ice cream is supposed to be more healthy for you, but I am a die-hard fan of the original form. Thankfully we can all have what we like!

I take it the house is on the dry side of the dyke. The way it is built it is well sheltered from the wind and cold. Beautiful capture and I like the curving road.

Great shot! I'd worry that the house would end up under water too!

[Danny G.]

That is a cool farm house, well captured!

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Merrelyn]

It looks like a lovely house and it's really well sheltered :)

[Fisher Family]

@777margo @alia_801 It was. Back in 1953 with the big flood.

[Nina Ganci]

that is cute, the roof is as high as the road! I see that this was for shelter of the wind, what about the rain

[Pyrrhula]

@ninaganci The (pottery) roof tiles take care of this. And the system of sewer/draining , ditches, canals and pumping stations.
