The Netherlands, Voorhout – April 2026

A major part of The Netherlands lies beneath sea level. Water, and the management of it in infrastructure as polders, dams and canals, is normal. We even not think of living under sea level. We feel safe. 
The flat landscape makes it interesting to look for lines that guide the eyes through the space. In a polder there are always canals that do the trick.

The question here is: which appeals most to your taste buds?

LAPC #395 looks back to LAPC #155 ‘On the water’. Water is not on our minds, but it is mindful to keep defending dry land against rising sea, rivers and soon (thanks to climate change with a bigger financial effort) rain. Meanwhile water is seen in most of the landscapes of The Netherlands.
