Nathan - Friesland is the setting for the sailing classic, "Riddle of 
the Sands."  It's interesting to see what the eastern piece of it 
looks like on a bright, sunny day.  Most of the book was written in 
"it was a dark and stormy night" mode and I have a hard time thinking 
of it in any other way.

I think Lone Cyclist best conveys the mental image I've had of the 
place since I read the book.
