Truly awful trains, and ones I refuse to travel on. At least if you drive, or travel on a London Midland Desiro, you can get a comfortable seat, leg-room, and a window! Also, by sticking to my preferred travel methods, you do not need to wrap your face with items of clothing in an attempt to avoid inhaling, smelling, or even tasting the awful stench of other passengers excrement. Also of note is that this shot has now been ruined forever by awful silver prison fencing. Not that there`s anything left to photograph anyway.
Some early summer impression from my homeland. Agriculture forms the landscape around. Typical is rape seed that gives a dominant yellow to the land. It corresponds perfect with the blue sky and - yellow mixed with blue - green grass and trees.

Amsterdam, 2019.
Muiden Castle (Dutch: Muiderslot) is a castle in the Netherlands, located at the mouth of the Vecht river, some 15 kilometers southeast of Amsterdam, in Muiden, where it flows into what used to be the Zuiderzee. It is one of the better known castles in the Netherlands and featured in many television shows set in the Middle Ages.
The history of Muiden Castle begins with Count Floris V who built a stone castle at the mouth of the river in 1280, when he gained command over an area that used to be part of the Sea of Utrecht. The Vecht river was the trade route to Utrecht, one of the most important trade towns of that age. The castle was used to enforce a toll on the traders. It is a relatively small castle, measuring 32 by 35 metres with brick walls well over 1.5 metres thick. A large moat surrounded the castle.
In 1296, Gerard van Velsen conspired together with Herman van Woerden, Gijsbrecht IV of Amstel, and several others to kidnap Floris V. The count was eventually imprisoned in Muiden Castle. After Floris V attempted to escape, Gerard personally killed the count on the 27th of June 1296 by stabbing him 20 times. The alleged cause of the conflict between the nobles was the rape of Gerard van Velsen's wife by Floris.
In 1297, the castle was conquered by Willem van Mechelen, the Archbishop of Utrecht, and by the year 1300 the castle was demolished.
In the Fourteenth century (ca. 1370-1386) the castle was rebuilt on the same spot based on the same plan, by Albert I, Duke of Bavaria, who at that time was also the Count of Holland and Zeeland.
Driving along to fetch my daughter I noticed that the rape field was looking good so stopped and grabbed a shot. Hope you like it and thanks for all your comments. I value them highly my friends and I love looking at yours.
