These would have come in handy last week, as we had another cold snap here in Germany and most of the ponds were frozen over. This pic is from Holland during konininnendag, or Queensday, a celebration of the colour orange ;) The locals will tape off parts of the sidewalk with the word BEZET (occupied), so that they can have a little yard sale.
It's now kings day, and tourists beware, the date has changed to April 27th!
