Delft is een Nederlandse universiteitsstad met veel charme. De TU Delft heeft een zeer goede reputatie en geniet internationale bekendheid. Vele studenten wonen op kamers in huizen dichtbij of langs de grachten. Ze moeten toch heel voorzichtig zijn niet in het water te sukkelen met hun fiets na een avondje stappen. De grachten geven de stad Delft een speciaal karakter. Voor mijn huis zou ik echter ongerust zijn want het water komt soms verraderlijk hoog te staan, met het risico dat het ongevraagd de woonkamer binnensluipt. Holland leeft met water..

Prima foto's Filip, ook de weerspiegelingen in het water zijn fraai.
ReplyDeletegreat topic for a blog entry! indeed when we live here, we often forget how unique this is:-)I have a "gracht" in front of my home too...with ducks, grey herons, fishes and other street/gracht-pets:-)
ReplyDelete...and to add to your final sentence: Holland lives with water...under the water level!
I think this is the best way to explore most of Europe...river or canal cruise!

Then, you hate and love the water alternately.

ReplyDeleteMy name is Anna Scherling and I work for Sasaki Associates, a multi-disciplinary design firm in Boston. I'm assisting the curators of a report titled "Preparing for the Rising Tides 2: Living with Water" that is being co-authored by the non-profit group The Boston Harbor Association (TBHA). I would like to ask your permission to use the third photo in this post as part of the report.
ReplyDeleteThis report is the second in TBHA’s "Preparing for the Rising Tide" series. For the series, TBHA has partnered with recognized content experts—in this case Sasaki Associates—to offer policy recommendations to help Boston prepare for increased coastal flooding. "Preparing for the Rising Tide" (2013) provided an initial assessment of Boston’s vulnerability to coastal flooding due to storm surges and sea level rise.
Today, "Preparing for the Rising Tides 2" focuses on the concept of “Living with Water” flood management. The report will provide twelve case studies describing how “Living with Water” strategies are being used by cities around the world to decrease their potential flood damage without losing the vibrancy and livability of their communities. The report is due to release this month, and will live online with TBHA and Sasaki in PDF form.
