Medemblik, in a nutshell

Medemblik is the smallest but oldest of the West Frisian towns in The Netherlands. Count Floris the Fifth granted Medemblik city rights as far back as 1289.

 

Medemblik has a rich cultural history with the Netherlands Steam Engine Museum as the highlight. More steam engines can be seen at the completely renovated station where the Hoorn-Medemblik steam tram arrives and departs during tourist seasons.

 

I tried to depict this small town by displaying an old-fashioned lamppost, a wagon of the Hoorn-Medemblik steam tram and a young family walking over the dyke which seperates land from the IJsselmeer (IJssel Lake). Sort of a minimal 3-in-1 ;-) Hope you like it.
