About the Photo on This Blog

It was taken in a snall town in Freisland (a northern province in the Neterlands) in 1998, while I was on a skating (in-line skates) tour of the Netherlands. I was sitting on a bridge over a canal eating lunch, turned around and saw these houses, and shot it. I think it's a great shot, and totally captured the look of the towns we skated through. It's practically impossible, I think, to take a bad picture of scenery in the Netherlands, especially in the farming areas in the north.

I took the skating tour with "Zephyr Tours" http://www.zephyradventures.com/ in 1998, which was the company's first year. At the time, it specialized in in-line skating tours; it has branched into walking tours and in-line skate camps.
