Washing Day Blue. Durgerdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The Waterlandsezeedijk was built in the early 1420s to protect the low-lying hinterland from the caprice of the Zuyderzee. Soon a village arose on a bend of that dike called Ydoornickerdam after a town swallowed up by a notorious storm. That name - it is said - morphed into what is today called Durgerdam.

There's a yachtclub here but even on Tuesday none of the bustle associated with such a place. Only some washing out to dry under a Murky Blue Sky in the pleasant Sun, and ReX who captured it all for you.
