It is very difficult to find some rocks on the dutch beaches; because the Netherlands is one giant swamp with no rock at all; only sand and clay. So I was a little happy when I found this little rocks on the beach. I think they were used for a dam or something...
Have a nice week everybody!

I am not sure if this is the last one from this day. I have so many nice shots to share, because of the unusual circumstances. This one is almost the same as (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/25722856787/stats/), but a bit different processed, no skaters and more plants. Enjoy!

Holländisches Viertel, Potsdam
"Potsdam's Dutch Quarters consist of 134 red brick houses, divided into four blocks, built between 1733 and 1740 by Dutch master builder Johann Boumann. King Frederick William I of Prussia had two things in mind when he ordered the development. Foremost, the Dutch had the reputation of being Europe's most modern and industrious nation of the time and the King wanted to attract other Dutch artisans to move to his residence. The plan didn't really work out and instead, Prussian and French merchants and artists moved into the Quarters.
But Frederick William I was also known as "The Soldier-King" and by building this particular kind of houses, he created affordable living quarters for his favorite soldiers, the Potsdam Giants, an elite troop of foot soldiers with a minimum height requirement of six Prussian feet (6'2"). Dutch houses were not very wide, but relatively tall. Each house had a small quarter on the third floor and every resident was required to house one of Frederick's giants in these rooms."
