Did a 5km walk with the girls that's as (northern) Dutch as you can get them. Nearly the edge of the world.
Was not a #SilentSunday because of a stiff breeze

[as a geologist and an adventure rider – and a Colorado resident that loves history - I have travelled all over this area; first photo is mine, my motorcycle under the Apishapa Arch in Aguilar, Colorado, a 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps project through a volcanic dyke, ‘coincidentally’ providing better access to land that a senator had purchased up around Cuchara and Cordova Passes]

This time a story that has nothing new for me...
but maybe for NON Dutch readers.
About dikes.
"Uncovering the hidden dangers within dikes"

Quote:
"Mostly built of earth, with a vegetation cover on top, the dikes attract animals, especially the burrowing kind. These animals dig tunnels, holes and shelters to live in. While they make a safe home for themselves, their homes pose a significant threat to the dikes."
"For their concluding assignment, students assumed the roles of crisis coordination experts, specifically simulating the responsibilities of dijkgraafs or dike wardens. Their task involved addressing the imminent collapse risk of a damaged dike, compromised by animal burrows."
"While the students had to manage a pretend-crisis, the actual monitoring is done by watchful wardens who navigate the dike through stages – from assessment to emergencies."
Nextblue · Uncovering the hidden dangers within dikesMonitoring dikes is important as animal burrows impact the stability and safety of earthen dikes, students learn during a field trip.

“The cost of upgrading the #dikes that protect the low-lying #IsthmusOfChignecto and prevent Nova Scotia from becoming a defacto island: $300 million. The bill for #Richmond—the fourth-largest city in metropolitan #Vancouver, which includes the #VancouverInternationalAirport—to raise its own dikes against rising seas: $1 billion.”

“Within a few decades, #Canadians in every part of the country will be faced with an inescapably altered #geography. #SeaLevels will rise up to half a metre on the #EastCoast by 2060 and approach a full metre by century’s end. Levels on the #WestCoast will rise more slowly, but the more urbanized coastline around #Vancouver and lower-lying communities will require massive upgrades to the #dikes keeping them dry.
In many places today, #dikes are being moved back, and #floodplains are being revitalized in order to give the #river more space during times of #flooding. This should make flood protection more effective and reduce the risk of flooding in #inhabited areas. Nevertheless, natural flood prevention projects are often met with considerable resistance from the general population.

It's rainy and dreary behind the dikes. Some colors from this morning. Have a lovely evening 
Natte zooi achter de dijken. Nog wat kleur van vanochtend. Fijne avond alvast
