    We went on a day trip to Holland today and visited Bourtange, a restored fort and village. Here are a few photos.

    Thanks roders and I'm glad that you reminded me what the plant is next to the bullrush. For the life of me, I couldn't think what it was when I posted. :(

    A few close-ups of the lovely hollyhocks -
