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.

A two second exposre using a Haida ND1000 filter.

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.

I always enjoy watching the clouds go by. Such interesting designs.

Clouds close-up

Overcast cirrus and broken altocumulus dominated the skies north of the Catalina Mountains. Weak sunlight creates a subdued landscape against gray clouds.

 

Temperature was 54F @ 3570 feet elevation. Normal average temperature this time of day (9:15AM) should be closer to 65F. Rare rainstorm expected here in 60 hours with maximum temperatures barely reaching 50F (18F below normal)! The NWS indicates that it might be a 1:10 to 1:30 year event.

We were on the road early for our hike today, anticipating a lot of people in the mountains wanting to view the Alpine Larches which are peaking right now. The double bonus was seeing these sunlit clouds from the back lane before we left. They look a bit terrifying, but I don't think they were storm clouds...

Spotted on my recent walk around Fawley in the south western corner of Buckinghamshire
