#100strangers / 30 Jan

Jan (stranger 30)

Then you are 80 years old, perfectly healthy, never visited a hospital and suddenly you get a cerebral infarction and you are lying in a bed with all kinds of tubes. It happened to Jan. After a few days in hospital, he was able to recover. And nowadays he walks a long way every day on the dike along the IJssel. He takes his crutch with him, not that it's necessary, but more just in case, just in case. He has plenty to see along the IJssel. As an old sailor (he has sailed all the world's seas) he pays particular attention to the passing ships. But those are not seagoing vessels. When he was a sailor, he still moored with his ship at Vuyks, on the wharf along the IJssel. And now he lives there, overlooking where the yard used to be.

This is the 30th photo of my 4th round of the 100strangers project. I like doing it, that's why it's already the 4th round.
