If you enjoy wide views, the countryside of the province of Groningen is where you should be! Like yesterday's photos this one also shows the Johannes Kerkhovenpolder. Johannes Kerkhoven was a banker from Amsterdam who had bought these lands to create a polder. His ambitious plans were carried out by his heirs though, as Kerkhoven passed away before the project started in 1875.
That is big country! And beautiful sky. I have to google the word 'polder' ... I have a good guess and I am sure I should know it, but I don't....blogging is good for me, I learn new things every day. Thank you for that!
So flat and open! I'd love to be there!
