    Unless they'd demanded wavers on coverage to participate I'd almost think that insurance execs were wetting their pants that day.

    File under weird coincidences - Helen, yes that Helen, 's father (Zeus) appeared as a swan and her mother (Leda) laid an egg from which Helen was born. Which provides a strange continuity to the recent posts.

    It was bit more quiet when the Google street view car drove by in aug. 2014, here's the wind turbine at the Stromboliweg, in the bottom left corner of above picture, note the graffiti on the turbine mast and the red road and the lamp post in front of the bushes.

    And here's a view over the Noordzeekanaal from that location . . . :eek:

    Noordzeekanaal = North Sea Canal

    Someday someone will figure out a way of putting highway-style lanes in waterways. Maybe with holograms?

    And, of course, then we'll get treated to a new wave of absurd or comically misspelled 'road' signs.

    I'm slightly surprised at the relitive lack of sailboats in this parade. Perhaps I shouldn't be, but it IS Sail Amsterdam, and it is windy their. I have sailboating friends that live near Delft, and work at Fokker.
