That's a wrap for todays photography. Tomorrow we visit Keringhuis Public Water Management Information Centre, which is dedicated to the flood risk management in the Province of Zuid-Holland and the impressive Maeslant Storm Surge Barrier. The Keringhuis shows how the locals still manage to keep their feet dry in the water-rich Province of Zuid-Holland. The Maeslant storm surge barrier is the last part of the Dutch Delta Works and is the world’s largest moveable barrier. This impressive construction cannot be described in words, only experienced.
Good night from the Netherlands.
