Bichterweerd

Some more pictures from a walk in Bichterweerd, an active sand/gravel quarry on the Belgian-Dutch border near the river Maas. The Jack Russell pictured was presented here last December. The past 6 months he (it is very visibly a he) grew into the most intelligent and energetic dog I know...









This bolt is one of the bolts used to fasten an overflow valve built into a levee next to the Maas. Note the weld, to protect it from theft. Having done quite some plumbing the past months I can't help wondering who would want to steal a 1 meter diameter custom-built steel valve..
