The Netherlands isn't known as much for its scenery as it is for its beautiful towns, but there is much about this country to love in terms of its open vistas, numerous canals and reed-lined waterways.

DeleteInteresting set of photos - liked the horses especially - where would mankind be without them. Good wishes.
