Gorgeous photos of a very appealing country: NL. And, a joy to be reminded of how beautiful Holland is. In my younger days I lived in Brussels for a couple of years, and then a bit later in Paris for six years. Many occasions to visit NL on vacation, also many times on business. On one trip I joined my daughter and some of her friends to sail a workboat from Hoorn to Amsterdam. That was quite a trip in about 20 knots of wind. We took on a bit of water, but mostly just spray from the waves splashing on the bow.
Many thanks for sharing your photos. And, Happy New Year 2005,
Mike
