Finally. Across the Meuse River: Blerick, Venlo, The Netherlands
At last after two weeks of mist and drabness this morning broke out with blue skies and a bright Meuse River. Here's a view across to Blerick from the right Meuse levee on the Venlo side. The green buoy marks the river's left channel. The water is relatively high now inundating the Raaijweide (www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/14563781947/in/photoli...).
The steeple is that of what used to be the church dedicated to St Lambert of Maastricht (c.636-c.705) in Blerick. Destroyed during fierce fighting in WWII it was rebuilt but turned into a health centre in 2017.
