And welcome back home :}<br /><br />Thank you for sharing Dutch icons.<br />The ones on the first postcard often are shown together as typical Dutch. T<br />However, the funny thing is that the traditional clothing this lady is wearing, is from the city Volendam. Volendam is famous for its fishermen and fish (especially eels) (and singers), but has nothing to do with bulb flower fields and cheese :-)<br />The bulb flowers are seen in the west of the Netherlands only (in Holland, while the east, north and south in fact are not Holland but named Nederland). Anyway, I think our country is not the only one who 'uses' iconical things this way.<br />Nice postcards, and I hope you'll be able to see Kinderdijk (and the Open Air Museum in Arnhem, and the Efteling) in future :-)Heleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206346242374113741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269572437962741012.post-1687625194815932842017-09-02T23:24:51.014+08:002017-09-02T23:24:51.014+08:00I was fortunate to live in Holland - right next do...I was fortunate to live in Holland - right next door to an old windmill!<br />I'm sharing a card of an annual event that elicits fond memories.<br />http://seeitonapostcard.blogspot.ca/2017/09/midway-at-ex.htmlviolet shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394243443725107623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269572437962741012.post-39730047071556903182017-09-02T22:50:38.778+08:002017-09-02T22:50:38.778+08:00I'm also glad you are continuing.

I'm linking to a "mixed" post this week which includes a couple of vintage postcards as well as my own photos, from <a href="https://dawntreader-island2.blogspot.se/2017/08/stjernsund.html" rel="nofollow">Stjernsund Castle</a>, another place visited on my little holiday trip in July.
