Winter in Marken

In a recent post I talked about a photo series from a day tour we took around North Holland during February. It was the most amazing day weather-wise - not a cloud in the sky and about 10-11 degrees, which for February was very nice. Of course, the fact that I now think that is a nice day suggests perhaps I have been out of Australia and living in northern Europe too long, or on a more positive note that I am integrating very well to life in the lowlands!

Anyway, this photo was taken at the boat harbour in Marken. It is a strange little town - it is very beautiful and well preserved, but perhaps just a bit much so. The entire town is a living museum, and you have to pay to enter the town. I suspect it would be a very scary place to be in the summer.
