  • @BrentToderian@mastodon.online do you know where that one is exactly? There are so many engineering wonders in the Netherlands but the Afsluitdijk really amazes me. I was driving across it a few weeks ago and the sat-nav looked like we were just driving across the North Sea - because essentially we were.

  • @BrentToderian@mastodon.online When bridges have to have signs that show both maximum height /and/ draft of vehicles. I wonder if there's a youtube channel of boats that ignored the sign and got stuck😄

    @BrentToderian@mastodon.online I once read that the Dutch are a very united people around the common problem of water. This is a truly interesting way to create some protection.

    @BrentToderian@mastodon.online I've seen this picture many times, but this is the first time I've looked closer and noticed the bike lanes (or multi-use pathway) on the left. Neat!

    @BrentToderian@mastodon.online Sailing close-hauled through that gap (it doesn't look like the engine is running) might count as showing off.

    @BrentToderian@mastodon.online Notice the cycle path on the side as well. We Dutch like to complain, so probably the slope is too steep :-)
