@stux You can edit your toot to include the photographer credit. It would be a lovely thing to do, because that info was provided to you seven hours ago. I just saw the photo now and assumed - wrongly - that you took the photo.

@stux "hoeijmakers dot net" is a website that is "launching soon."

@hoejimakers.net is perhaps a more useful credit.

But carry on!

@stux Let me guess, there's a machine that trims the tree branches so they don't fall on the road.
Newcomers to Germany are always amazed by the van with a rotating wet brush that scrubs the kilometer markers along the roads.

@stux Everything in the Netherlands just looks so nice - even the cities. I mean, I'm sure there are not so great parts, but as a Canadian I feel like there's so much we can learn from you - ecologically, urban space design, sociologically, and whatever the word for de-car-ifying the joint would be.

@chriswho @stux Beware of seeing the grass on the other side of the hill as being greener.

I had more or less the same idea about Canada when I visited it 😉

@hans @stux It would be kind of cool if our leaders did "field trips" and just flat out stole whatever was working.

A kleptocracy everyone could support!😜

@chriswho @stux If we actively share that info, nobody has to steal anything. Benefit for all.

@chriswho Bit of a tangent here, but I was impressed by Vancouver. A city of 2 million, twice the size of the biggest Dutch city, but nice, clean and very, very friendly.

But of course, as a tourist, I didn't visit the bad parts, so my view is necessarily incomplete.

And ecologically... I did a common route, so I saw Banff and Jasper, walked on the Athabasca glacier and toured several thousands of kilometers through spectacular sceneries. Nothing like that in our country.

Also had an excursion to the end of the world, I saw eagles, flocks of wapiti deer, humpback and killer whales and bears chasing salmon... I'll never forget that trip 😍

And yes, I've even looked into moving to Canada a few times. You know, just curious...

But I realise that I've only seen the nice parts, and have only spoken to the friendly people (although that seems to be the overwhelming majority). I'm sure Canada has its own challenges that I am not aware of.

@hans It does, but I spent most of my life in the Vancouver area/suburbs but a few years back moved to the Caribou in Central/Northern BC and BC is every bit as gorgeous as you might think. We have our issues, wildfires is a big new one thanks to climate change, but still feel really lucky to be here.

@chriswho Oh, but I certainly am aware of the forest fire problems. There were already problems with those woods when I was there, beetles who eat them and also the "regular" forest fires.

And I've followed the news in the past few years, it hasn't gotten better and may get a lot worse in decades to come.

But the challenges I meant, are the real state of the country, how society really is. I've seen a healthy, happy and friendy one, but I've only scratched the surface. Not a solid foundation for emigration plans.

There's a lot of polarisation going on in many, many western countries. I know how it is here, don't really know how it is there. Canada seems progressive enough and friendly to everyone, I like that. But it would take a lot more time to find out what's really what than one, fantastic journey.

@chriswho @stux if North American governments were ever as progressive as the Netherlands had been, when these human friendly urban areas were redesigned, then we would have nice things too. I say "had been" because a rightwing govt was just elected.

@Woodswalked @stux I get multiple plants when searching for ‘queen Anne’s lace’, but both cows parsley (most likely, grows in many road sides here) and wild carrot are native plants in NL, so likely not invasive.

@stux I guess the only reason there's no #BikeLane is because it's either a #BikePath or this place has traffic counted in Minutes per Car and not Cars per Minute...
