Photography -Enkhuizen - Holland: the view on the dijk

The Wilhelmina plantsoen was opend by and named after queen Wilhelmina in 1936. Plantsoen is Dutch for park.

The Venedie has several restaurants with terrace.

In the winter this area is used for ice skating.

The Kaasmarkt offers a few bars and discos.

To protect the city against the often violent sea and enemy invasion two walls were built in the 16th and 17th century. Called "The Sea wall" and "the Vesting wall".

The Enkhuizerzand is the beach in Enkhuizen, a nice view on the boats and the IJsselmeer.

The dijk is best described as the promenade of Enkhuizen.

The Zuiderhavendijk is one of the first harbours in the Netherlands. Most of Amsterdam was based on this design.

Maybe some time I can live in the Netherlands.
