Europe - Holland / Giethoorn
Giethoorn is a village in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality of Steenwijkerland, about 5 km southwest of Steenwijk.
Giethoorn used to be a carfree town known in the Netherlands as "Venice of the North" or "Venice of the Netherlands". It became locally famous, especially after 1958, when the Dutch film maker Bert Haanstra made his famous comedy "Fanfare" there. In the old part of the village, there were no roads (nowadays there is a cycling path), and all transport was done by water over one of the many canals. The lakes in Giethoorn were formed by peat unearthing.
Giethoorn was founded by fugitives from the Mediterranean region in around AD 1230.Giethoorn was a separate municipality until 1973, when it became part of Brederwiede

Yesterday was such a perfect, lovely day for me that I almost forgot that it was Friday the 13th, I took lots of wicked reflection pictures, got plenty of things done, talked to nice people, spend some quality time biking through the best city in the world, had delicious food and watched some really nice movies. Overall a very cool day that showed me some easy-going pleasures and convinced me once again that this special day does not need to be a bad one, I even bought a lotterly ticket, just to be on the safe side, because it felt like such a lovely day, wish me luck, I need the money, lol :D
Have a wicked weekend!

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.
This young lady is from near my hometown in North Carolina. She's been singing for as long as I can remember. She moved to Nashville, TN with the hopes to make it big. She needed some photos, so I told her we'd do a "fun" shoot the next time she was in town. This is what we came up with. Some photos have a White Fender Telecaster and 1969 Fender Bronco Amp. They're mine - and they've never looked so good.
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.
