Postcards from Holland

@andrewphelps: Postcards from Holland

Since words are failing me, I will use pictures to communicate.
I took these today throughout my incredible, 30-mile bike ride through the Dutch countryside. I traversed the region called Waterland, an expansive, quiet, rural area that is separated from Amsterdam by a small waterway. A short ferry ride took me to paradise.

    Hi, Andrew,
    I red your weblog, thanks.
    I have a question about de photo of the ‘watch out for birds” (vogels!) trafficsign. I’m directing a theatrepeace called “Vogels” and wandered if it was possible to use your photo for our publicity? Or, if not if you could tell us where you found this trafficsign.
    Hope to hear from you, Trudie Lute
