An old ``slapers`` dike.

The old dikes still remain. Through the whole country a spiderweb of old dikes (we call them `` Slapers`` - Sleeping- dikes) are there to discover and to drive. (carefully)

What are the piles of branches?

[Pyrrhula]

A fence . Sheeps are often grazing on it.

Is dat een 'schapenpaadje' onderaan de dijk?

[Pyrrhula]

@overalvandaan @gijsje Schapen grazen over de gehele kant. Ik zal wel een foto van ze doen.

I love the green. I have almost no green where I live. Last week I stopped at a restaurant that had just a small amount of grass. I walked on it - slowly, savoring it!

Looks like the field is already green. what was planted on it? no sheep this time.

Beautiful shot. You don't lack waterways from the look of things there.

Interesting description and image, Ferry...I like the horizon, too...fav

Nice shot. It looks a lot like what we call a dam or levee. It's a long way to the water. Does it very get up high enough to need a barrier?

[Merrelyn]

An interesting landscape, the fence looks like it might need some repairs or the sheep will end up on the road :)

Your countryside reminds me of parts of Lincolnshire, very flat, with lots of farming, and dikes!

[Diana Moss]

a interesting country scene

@bruni Grasses and weeds. @vernabeth We are never far from water. This dikes are not in use anymore. We have build a big new one instead. @merrelyn Last Autumn I found some on the road . Drive them back.

[Elyse Klemchuk]

I would like to take a little walk along the fence and enjoy the scenery!

[Kathy]

I can see how this would make good grazing for animals.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Michelle]

Lovely and peaceful looking 😊

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I guess the old ones still have some use or is it that to take them apart is not worth the trouble? I see that animals can graze on them so that must be why the stay in tact. Nice shot!
