In the canals around the Naarden vesting, rowing is quite popular. If you look closely at the first picture, you can see a row of ducks on the other side of the scull boat. What copy-cats! The second picture is a swan on one of the canals. Swans are pretty common here. The third picture is the little bridge that I bike over to get to work. The last picture was taken from the same bridge. There are homes on one side of the canal and cows on the other. This canal connects to the larger canal around the Naarden vesting. The people in the boat had to duck to get under the bridge although it's technically a drawbridge. There are some serious rusted padlocks indicating that it doesn't "draw" very often.
