At the dike

Loyal followers of my blog know I live near a dike where I love to have a walk with the wind in my hair. Last sunday we had another unusual sunny warm day in november so I was not the only one. This senior was biking against the wind.

These two were enjoying a back wind.

The ladies prevered a walk, the fences are placed to prevent cars to drive through. This piece of the dike is for pedestrians only. Our local municipal councel has plans to change this in a freeway, everything for the holy car, but no one here agrees with that.

And a great view at the Gooi lake with the autumn sun.

  3. Looks nice, but looks also quite cold (like here in my place). Backwind is always better.

  5. What a lovely view of the lake. I noticed the entrance to where all the boats are nestled. Nice to get them out of the wind, and possible storms, all nestled in harbour. It is wonderful to be surrounded by such beauty.

  6. Loved your pictures of the lake and the dike. What a shame to make this into a freeway. Traffic becomes such a challenge, but it is so important for people to have walkways and bicycle paths as well.

  7. "I love to have a walk with the wind in my hair." Do you really have any choice?

  8. That was a lovely walk Marianne :) super pic of the three ladies walking together and the lake. do you think there's any chance popular vote will stop them letting cars invade this space?

  10. You can cycle when it's cold but you can't have ice. You're lucky to have nice warm weather.

  12. Dearest Marianne,
    Lovely photos of entousiastic cyclists; especially the senior facing strong looking head winds.
    It is a lot easier for tailwind cyclists that's for sure! Had to laugh out loud with your back wind! Well, how could you 'hear' them?...
    The ladies that preferred to walk instead, are they having to walk quite a distance?
    Sending you mid-week hugs,
    Mariette
