Ung og sporty!

Here's an old photograph that turned up after some 40 years. This shot was taken somewhere in the mid-70s in Denmark, probably Jylland. Camera unknown but possibly the Canon AT-1 which I recall having at some point.

Quicksand

Arnhems drijfzand (1)Arnhems drijfzand (2)Arnhems drijfzand (3)
Wikipedia:
Quicksand is a colloid hydrogel consisting of fine granular material (such as sand, silt or clay), and water.

Quicksand forms in saturated loose sand when the sand is suddenly agitated. When water in the sand cannot escape, it creates a liquefied soil that loses strength and cannot support weight. Quicksand can form in standing water or in upwards flowing water (as from an artesian spring). In the case of upwards flowing water, seepage forces oppose the force of gravity and suspend the soil particles.

The saturated sediment may appear quite solid until a sudden change in pressure or shock initiates liquefaction. This causes the sand to form a suspension and lose strength. The cushioning of water gives quicksand, and other liquefied sediments, a spongy, fluidlike texture. Objects in liquefied sand sink to the level at which the weight of the object is equal to the weight of the displaced soil/water mix and the submerged object floats due to its buoyancy.

‘Verplaatsing stiltegebied’

Via: 'Truc' met stiltegebied langs Pannerdensch Kanaal wekt woede. (Dorpsraad Loo)

Na de Betuwelijn de A15

“Geconfronteerd met de plannen van de A15 is er grote onrust ontstaan in onze dorpsgemeenschap. Naast de genoemde geluids- en milieuoverlast hebben we te maken met een extra doorsnijding van ons dorp. De Betuwelijn leverde dat 10 jaar geleden al op en nu komt er nóg een stuk bij. Opnieuw worden delen van Groessen van de kern afgesloten. Voor de bewoners onacceptabel.”
