Now for somthing completely different

Yesterday I didn't have a hard day at the office. In fact, the hard days at the office are becoming rare. But my efforts to find a new job are heavy energy consumers. So a nice day in the south of our little province of Limburg is a nice variation.
Our transport for the day was a little Suzuki Jimny from Staatsbosbeheer, the National Forest Service and I was rather impressed by its terrain qualities. In the hilly terrain with muddy underground the little jeep made good progress. Of course the interior is simple and functional, but it is equiped with a 2-wheel, a four wheel and a 4 wheel with low gearing traction. No power to pull a trailer but for two persons and a bunch of maps and papers it was sufficient.

Real bad maintenance of the nice small scale landscape in Southern Limburg.

This is an old road overgrown with bushes. Willows aren't cut.

A stable nicely integrated in the landscape

Contrast between landscapes: open rural area versus highly densed city. 

The city of Heerlen of Parkstad emerges from the horizon.

Newly laid road for rural transport

Poplar trees in a row on the high plains

Typical landscape elements.

This weekend the FIAT gear lever cover project will commence. Then the Bleu Lord must be brought to the mechanic for a real good inspection and an adjustment of the carburettors before driving it to the customs service in Venlo.
