Approaching Marken. Lots of tourists in this little town, but still nice
to visit. The houses are mostly painted dark green. They were an island
up until recently. The city has been screwed several times. The lake was
originaly a large bay called the Zuider Zee. It was damed off early in the
century and turned into a large freshwater lake called the Ymeer. The fishing
community was devastated. Then they had to stop in-breeding once the causeway
to the island was built. Now they have to deal with all the tourists.

The harbor in Marken. Now full of yachts.

Cows, fields and houses. I'm sure there are some windmills somewhere here
too. Typical Holland.
