De Waal
Mijn man stuurde me weer een paar foto's tijdens zijn lunchpauze, deze week. Altijd blij ermee. Mooi zijn ze, die glinsteringen in het water van deze brede rivier. Tiel is echt een mooie, oude stad! Oud ook. Er worden nog heel wat archeologische vondsten gedaan. Op foto twee is oude toren te zien van de Sint Maarten kerk.

Pontje
Nog één foto: het pontje Tiel - Warmel aan de Waalkade. Deze kade ligt trouwens buiten de dijk. Gedurende hoogwater de kade en de parkeerplaats overstroomt. Bekijk de filmpjes hierboven.
Below: Aerial view by drone of the city of Tiel and Waal river.
The name Waal, in Roman times called Vacalis, Vahalis or Valis, later Vahal, is of Germanic origin and is named after the many meanders in the river (Old Germanic: wôh = crooked). It is, in turn, thought to have inspired early Dutch settlers of the Hudson Valley region in New York to name the Wallkill River after it (Waalkil = "Waal Creek"). Source: Wikipedia

BeantwoordenVerwijderenTiel is so old, I love that. Amazing the quay is periodically under water.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenA wonderful and fascinating post about a place I do not know. It's another reminder as to how little I've seen of the world. The photos are superb. I also like the fisheye view in the last piece.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenVery quaint and beautiful city. In the US we have a greatly modified meaning of "old" structures (maybe 100 -300 years old)!
