If there is one trait that is in agreement throughout the world about the Dutch people besides their liberal leaning spirt is that if there was a way to make money or better yet save it a Dutchman has already done it or holds the patent on it, from my understanding the Dutch are pretty proud of frugality and its appearance.
Sometimes though frugality is coupled with common sense in a rare combination such as people buying just enough of a decent bike to be under the theft radar and if it looks to good riders will sometimes paint it terribly to make it look unattractive to the incessant bike thievery that happens in Holland.
Pictured here is another fine frugality example, the patio barge reclaiming living space from the water yet again showing what is possible in an ecological pragmatic manner, the dining barge line canals throughout the Netherlands and have become defacto canal patio space for bars and restaurants usually located across the street and fully property taxed of course.
Oh how I wish I was waiting for a table right now.
I took this on Sept 17th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 42mm 1/20s, f/16 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO
