Yesterday's pictures, about the walk round to the swimming-pool, can be seen here.
Today's pics, "Rainy Ride", can be viewed here.
A few images are a bit fuzzy; the light was low, and trying to take pictures from a bicycle when you're doing 10 mph in those conditions is asking for that.
Anyone got any ideas yet what a cerviduct is?
The Shell Gallery
This is the archive of The Shell Gallery blog, which was active between 2008 and 2018. It is dedicated to the memory of my mother, who died in May 2008, and to that of my father, who passed away in August 2022. 
The Watch Tower stands to the north, overlooking the open Heathlands
The Shell Gallery also refers to the island of Vlieland, which has zillions of shells on its beaches.

How about a wildlife overpass? We actually saw one somewhere (maybe in eastern Nevada) on our road trip in Feb-March. Linda in WA
The photos are lovely Guido, you live in a very scenic part of the world. I'm not sure but I think a cerviduct is a kind of crossing place for animals so they can get across to their habitat without ending up flat on the road. Jeannette xx http://journals.aol.co.uk/jlocorriere05/Welcometomytravels/
what a cerviduct is>>>
My guess is that it is a sewer or drainage ditch that is elevated.
Nice pics, Bill
hi guido, great pics TY for sharing them. A cerviduct is a wildlife overpass. i looked it up on the net! I love the net!!!lol take care mrs txx
"Rainy Ride" pix just so beautiful, I loved Avenue and Heathlands best. CATHY
I'm guessing here -- Cervine is a word that pertains to deer (Latin is cervinus) and a duct is a canal and the Latin root of duct is also associated with "traduce", which means to transport. So is it a way for deer to move from one place to another?? I have never heard the word before, and I have never seen such a thing, but I don't know what else the "cervi-" part of it could allude to that would make any sense.

Very pretty pictures....... Cerviduct...... all i could find was this
two overpasses (cerviducts, ecoducts) (Fig. 4) were built to enable the red deer (hence cerviduct) to migrate from one side of the highway to the other
