On the stairway of the sea wall





Kinda sounds like a fairy tale, but it isn't. You guys know that Holland is famous for it's 'dykes'. No slang interpretation here please. I seriously mean embankment.

In Flevoland, a region close to Amsterdam (20 minute drive), there is a stairway on to the highway with the water on the other side. It's pretty, but they are still building a lot of houses and of course there are the cars driving by 'upstairs', which makes it difficult to take a walk alongside the waters.




These pics were taken by a friend on the stairway aka 'the safe side'. lol. You wouldn't want to run over just to see the water and get hit by a car. Okay, I did run over pretty quickly, but it seemed so dangerous and illegal (there is no sufficient path on the other side) that I even forgot to snap a picture. Bummer..




I have to add..It felt super romantic to be alongside such beautiful waters, nature & flowers. Tried to capture the moments, but the camera doesn't draw them out as beautiful as it really was. It's a 'go see for yourself' kind of thing, I guess.


So at the top of this bloggie you can see a still, little picture of the sun dawn made by H.H. De Graaf. Found it via Google, but decided to not post the full picture, due to copyright infringement. It's just to give you a look to see how beautiful the other side of this stairway is. They need to make some path there. It's too romantic not to be able to see up close (without risking your life).

*SMOOCH*
