A chimmy to remmember where we live on.

We normaly do n`t take much attention on the fact that we live on reclamed land and the surface is below sea level. That chimmey belongs to and old steam pumping station to keep the land dry. Now it is electrified.

Yes, that chimney is a great reminder of the reclaimed land. Love this shot with the orange leading line on the right (leading to the chimney).

Sort of the opposite of irrigation. Lovely field of flowers with the row of orange leading to the chimney of the pumping station.

We are in the press for all the wrong reasons nowadays, unfortunately. I hope the picture given by the journalist wasn't too bad. Beautiful capture. So much to learn about Holland and the beauty of its countryside.

Beautiful shot, love the lines of flowers. So interesting that they keep pumping the water out of the reclaimed land.

Prachtig! Ik groeide op net buiten Rotterdam en een project week waar we naar de gemalen keken heeft diepe indruk op me gemaakt!
