How green is Holland 3
Looks like it's going to get smelly within a few weeks. Usually if it get's
thicker, the fish will die. Thanx for sharing Willem! JEroen |

Indeed it is very colorful, I believe the Dutch made the green paint from it. They paint theyr wooden houses green in the old days, you can still see them in Holland, specially at the Zaanse Schans, a industrial area with more than thousand windmills to power the machines in those days. The Zaanse Schans is a delightful old hamlet on the banks of the river Zaan with characteristic green wooden houses, charming styalised gardens, small hump-backed bridges, tradesmen's workshops, historic windmills and engaging little shops. This enchanting hamlet gives an excellent impression of how a typical Zaanse village must have looked like in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Apart from the cluster of windmills and houses there are also several museums, restaurants and a visitors' centre to be found as well as the possibility of taking a boat trip on the river. The Zaanse Schans has become one of the top tourist destinations in the Netherlands. |
