Art in the canal

In Almere Haven are some artworks placed in the canal.

I think it was not intented that a moorhen couple would make a nest in this shoe.

I tried to catch one of the youngsters but they were hiding under the wings of the mother.

  2. Misschien moet de maker van het kunstwerk het als een compliment beschouwen :)

  3. We would think it very strange indeed if we saw one of these floating in our C&O Canal. :-)

  4. I like the idea of having art along the canal, and what a great little home the Moorhen has made to raise her chicks.
    Thank you for your kind comments on my recent posts, I much appreciate them
