Have a seat, and be ready for the heap of ice tomorrow Earlier this week we were on the island of Marken (now a day’s connected by a dike to the mainland) in the IJsselmeer (IJssellake --- Southersea yearssssss ago) the see the drifting ice creating big heaps. At the feet of the “Horse of Marken” (= light house of Marken) there is, two days after the frost / winter has left the Netherlands, still a lot of ice despite the fact that the temperature is well above freezing point (7 degrees Celsius) but due to the wind the chill factor gave a feeling of below freezing point!! At the feet of the light house this bench was inviting for to take a seat!!, a little turn to the right and you are in front of heaps of ice, slowly approaching the light house. At the horizon you can see a with stroke of ice, its where the mainland is!! Thanks for viewing, and your lovely words on my yesterdays posting, a special thanks for those who earmarked the image as favorite; comments are always welcome. Have a very nice day Henk Wikipedia info The Paard van Marken ("Horse of Marken") is a lighthouse on the Dutch peninsula Marken, on the IJsselmeer. It was built in 1839 by J. Valk. A primitive lighthouse had been on the location since the early 1700s; the current lighthouse is a Rijksmonument since 1970
