Fascinating stories! Looking at the pictures, I am curious about the hydro-geology of fresh and salt water here. So close to the sea, yet the people and the trees seem to have plenty of fresh water. Are you slightly above sea-level, or is the aquifer under pressure from a higher elevation source?

🧡 an Orange heart. Enjoying reading this Island history, visualizing the walk on the dikes and see the Fort Ellewoutsdijk as a reminder of trouble. I'm wondering if the local people still wear their traditional dress on Sundays? And the resilience of the peoples managing the waters is truly amazing. The photos aides with the seeing . . . thank you (-:
