While travelling around Holland in June/July, we quickly gained an appreciation for the
numerous canals criss-crossing the country, as well as the many drawbridges
that allow traffic over the canals.
The drawbridge shown below is in Ruischerbrug, in the province of Groningen, and as we drove towards it, the drawbridge was raised (see second photo), to allow a long barge through. We pulled over for a closer look and some photos, and the photo immediately below was taken once the barge had passed through and the drawbridge was lowered again.
The name of this particular bridge is the "Borgbrug", which I suppose could be translated as "Borg Bridge" ;-)
