The Waal or Rivier Waal (Waal River) is the main distributary branch of river Rhine flowing through the Netherlands. Approximately 80 km, it is the major waterway connecting the port of Rotterdam to Germany. My husband works in Tiel, a town along the river and he made these pictures with his Phone :-)
Vanaf de Waalkade
Op de foto zie je de Waal bij Tiel, de drukst bevaren rivier van Europa. Mijn man maakt deze foto's van passerende schepen met zijn mobiel, toen hij op de Waalkade stond. Altijd zo mooi, die boten! En altijd blij met zulke foto's ...

- What's the nearest river to where you live?
- My answer: The Rhine
Das haben wir gemeinsam! Ich wohne am Rhein, am Übergang vom Mittelrhein zum Niederrhein. Ich finde das ganz wunderbar.

Das is schön, Astrid! Romantische Rijn :-)
VerwijderenVery nice photos. The Bredagh River is a few minutes from where we live. It has a trail that takes you through some woods. I haven't been on it yet but will have to plan a hike and get some photos to post.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSo interesting to see the large boats on the river!

Lagan is our nearest river which flows into Belfast, the main port.
Kudos to your husband! The river is beautiful as are his photographs!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLovely photos! I would love to see the Rhine one day. I like learning more about Netherlands.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMost interesting photos.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenA pretty sight. Reminds me of the Ohio River here. Lots of barge traffic. Have a wonderful weekend.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love visiting the Netherlands from my cozy arm chair here in Alabama, USA. You always show such interesting things to me Aritha. Thank You!!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love seeing your country. Maybe one day I will see it in person. My closest major river would be the Chattahoochee River. There are some minor ones probably a bit closer, but I think this one would be the one that shows up on a map. One closer would be the Blackwater River. Both are in the panhandle of Florida, USA. The Chattahoochee has a famous county song by Alan Jackson about it, called "Way Down Yonder on the Chattahoochee."
BeantwoordenVerwijderenInteresting post with some great photos and video. We have small rivers here in Alabama but the closest major river would be the Mississippi River. Have a blessed day and a wonderful weekend. Madeline
BeantwoordenVerwijderenVery interesting Ships!! Great post! We live near the St. John's River, which runs north instead of south, and empties into the Atlantic ocean. It was a well known passageway into the interior of the state of Florida for passengers and supplies until trains and automobiles took over. Have a blessed day my friend across the sea!!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAltijd mooie Aritha, water trekt altijd en daar krijg je de schepen gewoon bij.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGroet kees.
Hello Aritha! You will not be surprised that I love your boat/ship pictures! Very nice and I enjoyed them all. My favorite is the Zwijndrecht. Thank you for sharing! Warm greetings to you from Washington State, USA.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat river flows fast! I like the ship pictures a lot.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe nearest river to me is "Tom's River" which flows into Barnegat Bay.
