And yes, Marken is very charming, especially at off-season time without hundreds of tourists. That's the time to go! We saw several cars, especially after leaving the city center. But we could tell they belonged to the residents. Good idea.<br /><br />I assume the lighthouse is still functional, but now that you ask, I have no clue. I do know a family lives there. Maybe that's their job?!Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-58802915597445540012012-03-19T05:07:25.447+01:002012-03-19T05:07:25.447+01:00Loving the shots, so beautiful!!!

So glad you let me in on the secret.<br />The little town of Marken is charming, and how fascinating that non-residents are not allowed to drive there. Actually, I don't see any cars in any of your pictures. Maybe I'm not looking closely enough.<br />Lighthouses are fascinating structures aren't they? Is this one still functioning?Shammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-71658201185884417592012-03-18T08:59:03.152+01:002012-03-18T08:59:03.152+01:00Victoria: That wooden-shoe tree is right outside ...<b>Victoria:</b> That wooden-shoe tree is right outside the factory where I'm sure you saw the demonstration on how they're made. It's a small world after all! I love knowing we were on the same ground, though several years removed. But the crowds you encountered are typical during the tourist season.

Someone was demonstrating how the wooden shoes are made... somewhere I have photographs but who knows where! (pre-digital, now I can find them by date on my computer so easily) We did not walk out to the lighthouse and your pictures make me wish we had! (I was visiting friends Pieter and Marjolijn and cannot believe that it was 22 years ago that I was there!)<br /><br />The wooden shoe tree images are wonderful and I really like how you put together the "hinterland" collage. It seems that PhotoScape has more options for arranging collages just how you like!<br /><br />That cow seems a bit dubious about having Astrid pet her...

Your collages are quite nice. My posts are long and I try not to take too long writing them so I think I’ll stick with my discontinued program as it is so fast to use. The bottom picture in your collage showing the silhouette of the village with the church looks like those little houses you can buy in gift shops – so cute. The tarte aux pommes looks super delicious. That Marken lighthouse is just gorgeous – certainly worthwhile a little hike.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-9818751556639383972012-03-14T09:30:26.673+01:002012-03-14T09:30:26.673+01:00Astrid: I'm glad you like the new collage pro...<b>Astrid:</b> I'm glad you like the new collage program because it's been fun to learn it.

For me it was at least 40 some years ago that I was in Marken. The €4,50 included 50cents each, 'Tourist Tax'.....<br />I am more than happy to pay for that. I think Marken uses that money to keep the town authentic.<br />Beautiful pictures again.
