This afternoon, we took our push bikes and rode out of town to the banks of the river IJssel, not far away. Past a platform where storks were nesting to a small ferry, linking the town of Rheden to the watersports complex at Rhederlaag. Having partaken of refreshments just outside Lathum, we wound our way south to the bridge in the A12 motorway (carries a portion open to cyclists). We returned not a minute too soon - a thunderstorm had been brewing and decided to let rip precisely the moment we came back.
Pictures here, includes links to a map

Glad you got back in time !! Thanks for these nice photo's. I hadn't realised that storks nested in Holland..somehow I thought of them as birds from further south/west. I remember seeing them in Morroco. Take care. God Bless Love Sybil x
Are you just really great at picture taking OR is every where you go that beautiful?

I bet that kitty has a fat belly...filled with doomed field mice. Beautiful pictures...but I have one request...please keep those storks away from my house. I'm too old !!! Linda in Washington state

I've been looking at your photos, Guido. Holland is really lovely! Don't worry about getting around JLand right now. Take the time to relax and enjoy your homeland. Chris
I'm glad you made it back before the torm hit you Guido! The photos are beatiful, it looks like a wonderful peaceful place to be. I love the prowling pusses too! Jeannette xx
Guido, your photos are wonderful and I love the link to the map. What a treat to be able to know 'where in the world' Guido has been!
It looks like a very serene place. Great job on the photos. I like the one of the pruned willow. I have a tree fetish. I love taking pictures of trees. They are like snowflakes, no two are exactly the same! It looks very serene around the river, like a good place to go and relieve the stresses of life. Thanks for sharing!~
