Kinderdijk is well known for its numerous windmills. In the Netherlands, the drainage system is an important matter. The Dutch need a large drainage system in order to keep the inhabitants from drowning, because some parts of the Netherlands are below sea level. In the Alblasserwaard, problems with water became more and more apparent in the 13th century. The Dutch dug large canals to get rid of the excess water in the polders. These canals are called "weteringen", and they can still be found all over the country. However, this method was sufficient only for a short period of time. The ground started to lower again because of its structure and the level of the river began to rise at the same time. An additional way of maintaining the level of the water in the polders was required. The Dutch decided to build a series of windmills. The windmills would pump water into a reservoir until the level of the river had reached a certain level, in which pumping water into the river was made possible again. Gaining full control over the water was never possible. In the past, the residents of the Netherlands suffered from many severe floods.

the clouds were spectacular on our way home from doing some shopping on Thursday, just prior to sunset
A puzzling sky. The almost linear clouds suggest the remnants of contrails except their direction was not that of air routes. Another cluster in the distance. 'Likely' Altocumulus radiatus. Above these intermediate levels clouds was cirrus that generated fragments of a 22 degree halo.
Le nuvole in cielo… sono come i sogni quando vagano nel fondo della nostra mente.

The clouds in the sky… are like dreams when they wander in the back of our mind.

Amazing skies in the Southland on my very first day of full retirement.
