Nabij Delft een langsvarend bloemencorso bezocht en tegelijk het aquaduct gefotografeerd voor deze locationless cache.

116. Aqueducts Akimbo (Locationless, Boatable) by hober
N 51° 59.376 W 004° 19.422
In the Netherlands there are many aquducts, but this one is the nearest from my hometown Delft. It is the Gaag aquaduct with coordinates N51 59.376 E004 19.422. The Gaag is a canal west of Delft and mostly used to control the water level in the dried area around it (we call these canals: boezem, wich means woman breasts). Also it is used by ships, mostly for pleasure and not for trade.
Once a year there is a big happening and this year it is today. The part of the Netherlands west of Delft is called Westland (yes!) and is worldfamous for the agriculture of flowers and fruit. Today there is a show with many ships showing all kinds of flowers and fruit. The theme this year is: fairy-tale. See the pictures.
