The support aircraft was this C-17 "02" from the SAC Heavy Airlift Wing in Papa, Hungary. It is getting norticed by some typical Dutch cyclists whil approaching the runway of Leeuwarden AB.
Holland Brook winds lazily through the low rolling countryside of northeast Essex, England. This is an old watermeadow, a form of land management which started around the 15th century and carried on into the 19th century involving optimising land irrigation through the diversion and channeling of natural rivers, brooks and streams to help drain the marshy lowlands and water the higher fields and meadows. This watermead is now derelict and Holland Brook has returned more to its natural state but still feeds the agricultural land it divides...as is evident by the lush greenery and breaks of willow trees seen in the landscape surrounding it. Modern farmers still dig and maintain irrigation canals from the brook to provide watering places for grazing sheep, cattle and horses.Footpaths and byways are allowed through the land, and canoeists and kayakers can be seen paddling the waters on weekends and in good weather. A landscape that benefits everyone, old watermeadows are found in river valleys around Essex and the east of England.
Dutch Flat, established around 1851 as a California Gold Rush mining camp high on the Bear River, was named after German brothers Joseph and Charles Dorbach, who set up a general store and way station. Unlike most of the Gold Rush era towns in the state, Dutch Flat had never suffered a devastating fire that wiped out most of its downtown (though the First Chinatown burned down in Sept 10, 1887 and in 1898 several public buildings burned down, both suspected to be from arson). Consequently the small downtown seen here has several buildings dating from the early 1850s.
As the first large town to the West of Emigrant Gap, Dutch Flat became the site of surveying expeditions by Theodore Judah of the Central Pacific Railroad for the final Transcontinental route. Enthusiastically pushed by locals, the route East was mapped to indeed pass by the town. Many Californians vocally opposed the "Great Dutch Flat Swindle", thinking the route was impassible and that the rail lines would stop at the town and force travelers to cross over the Sierras by company stagecoaches, but the First Transcontinental Railroad indeed came by, the construction work making Dutch Flat one of the largest cities in the state in the 1860s, with a population of 6000, 3500 Chinese. However as the railroads went further East, Dutch Flat began to decline in importance.

I am more use to see trailers towed behind bikes (containing kids, pets or groceries) than this front seat Dutch model.

One of 5 photos selected for a TV commercial on Dutch television 22.09.06
Holiday photographs of ordinary Dutch people are shown in a series of TV commercials for internet service provider Planet Internet. Purpose is to demonstrate that it’s more fun watching holiday photos on your TV screen (with friends or family), than on a small computer screen.
The commercial is part of a campaign about wireless internet, explaining that wireless has more possibilities than you think. Like streaming digital music files wireless from your computer to your stereo set, or sending your photos from your computer to your TV.
You can upload your holiday picture at www.planet.nl/wireless. Each day 5 photos are selected for the TV commercial of two day’s later. The lucky ones are notified by email when their photo will be broadcasted. Each commercial can be downloaded from the website at the link ‘uitzendschema’.(sorry everything is in Dutch). You can see an example of the commercial at www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfpwxHgtSoQ
Now, this is not a commercial message. I’m one of the guys who made up this idea and thought it would be fun to share the photographs which were on TV recently. And maybe encourage all the great photographers here at Flickr to join this competition.
In the centre of the house there is an empty space with a skylight and all four facades have a large window.
The ground floor consists of a series of museumlike ordened spaces, offering varying views of the lake and the surroundings. The empty space unites spatially ground floor and top floor and the skylight allows daylight to enter both floors.
Constructed Area: 340 sqm.
A testimony to the legacy of the past and ignorance of presence. This Dutch Cemetery houses 76 odd tombs and mausoleums with beautiful letterforms carved on stone. Although protected by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), without any guards or maintenance the place is usually the venue for local card games and vandalism.
