- It’s the dike at the otherside of the Rhinebridge Rhenen, going towards Arnhem …(a Bridge to far ?)
  I am just making it more famous through all the sunsets I have been taking here 😉

This is such a beautiful photograph. And I love all things Dutch. Having visited. The Netherlands in 1990 with 20 other artists when we exhibited our work in the town of Deventer. And speaking of Arnhem, we took the train to Arnhem, rented bikes and rode through Holland’s National Park to the Kroller Museum for the Van Gogh centienal exhibit there. What a fantastic bike ride that was. I am subscribing to your blog for more of your work. Please stop my blog. I am a digital artist.

- What a great story to read back here.It took me back to my schooltrip to the Krolermullermuseum age 10 I believe,probably started my interest in art in general..I do live in a beautifull area in between the rivers and the Utrechtse Heuvelrug..a wide area o nature they are trying to bring back to its natural habitat.
  Thanks for stopping by and the follow and will most definately stop at yours..as it says on my blog ,intrested in anything that triggers my eye and mind 🙂

  - It was a magical time form and the other artist in 1990. Are you familiar with the town of Deventer? I remember riding my bike from Deventer to Utrecht. How beautiful it was.

  - Walter , got to say no.
    I am very familiar with Utrecht , which is only 30 minutes away from me .
    I know the route you probably cycled, it is the trail called the Utrechtse heuvelrug ( back o the hill) which pretty much starts in my town .
    Blessed with forrest, rivers & history 😀
