The main dike.

This the outermost/main dyke that protect the land from the waters on the other side. Leave the car in it to show the size.
(There are many places you are allowed to get on and over it.)

Goed beschermd!

[Michelle Renee]

Like the leading lines

[Beryl Lloyd]

The dyke is certainly tall - love the leading lines in this shot !

[Suzanne]

That's quite a structure, hopefully it does the trick

[Dianne]

It’s good you left the car there so we have a size comparison.

[bruni]

Yes, leaving the car in your picture tells us exactly how tall this dyke is.
you have so many opportunity in your near and not so near area for interesting photos.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I really like your pov and how we were lead into the picture. Interesting information, too, Pyrrhula.

[Kathy]

The dike is so much taller than I imagined it to be. I like how it obscures the water view and I like the minimalist look. It's simple without a lot of distractions; just the curve of the dike and the road.

[Diana]

Great shot and explanation.

[Margo]

This one is quite high

[Denise Wood]

Certainly shows the height of the dyke!! Hope it never strikes a leak!

[FBailey]

Great idea to leave the car in the shot for a sense of scale - so much higher than I'd expected.

[sally agnew]

Interesting to see :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Great shot and I like to read your narratives. It looks like what I have learned in geography lessons about Holland are coming to life.

[Chris K]

that's really big. So very interesting. Hope you can show us the view from the top one day

[Daisy Miller]

Great shot. The car really gives me a sense of how tall the dyke is.

[Merrelyn]

The car really gives a sense of scale to the image :)

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Ivan]

Impressive dyke.

[Sandi]

Good planning and use of natural materials. Nice engineering feature that is incredibly useful. Our city has been talking about how to prevent flooding recently, and has come up with some similar ideas...Neat shot...
