Hi Nathan,

Nice pictures, these remind me when I was a little bit more young than now -
in 1969 - my first trip to Holland, I particularly retain two things in my
memory, Urkh (or a similar name) a small and nice fishing village in the
north of Amsterdam, I was there a Sunday, nobody was on the village, all was
in the Church, many people was on the local very nice dresses in an already
freshly September day. The second image I have on my head is of Lelystad, in
1969 it was there any industry, I've found a small hotel, a wood house in
the middle of the green territory...., unfortunately I haven't any camera
with me, but sometimes the best pictures you have are these ones never take,
that you have on your head. I loved the Holland landscapes, as Jacques Brel
sang "Le plat pays", very different from ours.

Saludos desde Barcelona
Luis

Asunto: [Leica] A motorcycle ride in southern Friesland

A couple of weeks ago I got up early, took my motorcycle, and rode
through part of southern Friesland, following roughly an itinerary
suggested by a Dutch motorcycle magazine. Friesland is a lovely part of
this country, different in character (and language) from the rest of the
Netherlands. It also has the virtue of being the part of the Netherlands
that is closest to Denmark :-)

In any event, I did have a camera in the pocket of my motorcycle jacket,
and have put up a small selection of the resulting pictures:

Hopefully you will get a flavor of this beautiful place.
