As you can see, the river is right. This is on the inside of the dyke, a piece of land that will float when the river surface is rising. Way to the left (not seen here) is an even higher dyke to protect the city against the water. This was taken at the same time as the other two and no dark cloud is hanging here.
Between the two of the river I will chose this. My one visit to holland (30 yrs ago) I enjoyed my train ride from the Hague to Amsterdam and viewing the aray of dykes and fields. I like the color in this photo. Del.
