Canal view


 The repairs to the quay along the "Groenburgwal" are not progressing as quickly as hoped. However, reinforcement cages have been placed around some of the supports so that vegetation can grow over the canal. (Probably because local residents are tired of seeing those rusty pipes in front of their doors.)

  2. Construction always seems to take longer than expected.

  3. Those pipe supports do look temporary, and the do limit access to the rest of the canal. A boat on the wrong side of those pipes is stuck there with no escape.

  4. are the pipes something to do with bracing across between the two walls? i presume they're not piping anything inside them?

    1. fantastic - i quite like them but the idea of "greening" them with something growing across is wonderful - i bet they will look great when colonised
