July 5, 2025

 Saturday. Left just before ten. Blacksmith. Skies filled with multiple grays, some space for the sun. Cooler, not cool, with moderate breezes out of the southwest. Wayen to Langeweg, something new around the back of Heemskerk. In part it runs right alongside the freeway, but when you look right, you have a good view of the estate. It's a road that gets little traffic--I disturbed hares, ducks, and various kinds of birds. Fresh gravel on the road alongside the canal, where I can't remember seeing any freighters. Schalkwijk and Tetwijksepad (the four towers of Culemborg) to Achterdijk with its shifting views of Schalkwijk and its churches, and the bridges. More fresh gravel on the Lange Uitweg, then wind on the Lekdijk. Vreeswijk and Jutphaas. Waterfront structures going back to the old days, and the same with some of the boats tied to the shore. Pleasantly messy.
