Dutch scenes: river in higher ground


It is a well-known fact that a portion of Holland lies below sea level. What I did not know is that there are rivers and canals that run on grounds higher than the surrounding areas. If you look at this picture, in the right-hand side you will see a fence that goes down as it gets further away from the canal. Quite interesting: the canal runs higher. In any other part of the world it would be otherwise. Well, it seems there are things that only happens in Holland.
