In the canals however there was need the use of a horse tow the ships trough it . It was very common those day`s. We call this : ``het jagen van een schip``
@pyrrhula Ferry, is aquaelle a name for the plant. we know it as hydrangea. I googled aquaelle and found certain products for sale, but nothing was said about a flower
That's a wonderful photo, and not something I've ever seen before! Do you know if she's just out walking her horse, or taking it somewhere? And those gorgeous trees! They're so beautifully symmetrical, and gorgeous with their bare branches. It all looks so uniquely Dutch!
@darsphotos Thanks for the fav. Darlene . @Weezilou I know they all volunteer and most times the driver owns the horse and having a great day. After the walk they get back to the stable or meadow .
We need those canals for cheap transportation and to dry the land. We have learn that the shortest distance between two points is a strait line.
