Great close up.
@speedwell What is a sleeping dike? The landscape has chance many times in history. We did build dikes to protect te land from floods and storms. Last time this happen was in 1953 . We also reclaimd the land from the see. So in time we have build many dikes. By any new dike we build we still keep the old one for exstra savety.. Those old dike we call ``slapende dijken`` I`ve translatedit to ``sleeping dikes`

Exciting! I love this, it's like the string has made a frame.

@pyrrhula Thank you for the explanation. I now understand that the old dike becomes a backstop.
