How low is the water , daddy ?

On many places are measures the High, in this case the underneath of NAP, of the water.
NAP is the average sea level we use trough the whole country. You can see it`s - (minus) 1 meter 72 ( +/- 5.64 feet) Just my size .

I like the reflections on the water. The water is quite low, considering it isn't summer yet.

So it's below sea level?

[Irene]

Fascinating. I aways knew a lot of the country was below sea level but I never knew that was your standard measurement

Your title makes me think of that question children ask when travelling in the car to a holiday destination: "Are we there yet daddy?"
