Giethoorn in Netherlands has no roads or any modern transportation at all, only canals. Well, and 176 bridges too. Tourists have to leave their cars outside of the village and travel here by foot or boat by. So you can probably imagine how peaceful it is here.

Oh, that’s lovely! It’s what a baby would see riding on its mother’s back!
I’m curious about how this was taken, and how it was that the next photograph in the series wasn’t “Pastel Darklord Beats the Shit Out of Photographer”.
What a 10,000 year old glacial ice supposedly looks like. The photographer calculated that the ice was 10,000 years old because that’s how long it takes for all of the air to be forced out of glacial ice, leaving it clear, like crystal, rather than white like most glacial ice, such as the iceberg in the background.
The great blue heron (Ardea herodias) is a large wading bird in the heron family Ardeidae, common near the shores of open water and in wetlands over most of North America and Central America, as well as the Caribbean and the Galápagos Islands. It is a rare vagrant to coastal Spain, the Azores, and areas of far southern Europe.
The scientific name comes from Latin ardea, and Ancient Greek erōdios, both meaning “heron”.
