WALSCH / CANAL JOURNAL

Notes from
the waterline.

Walking routes, quiet corners and observations from the Netherlands.

The morning route

Early light catches the narrow houses along the canal. Bicycles cross the bridges before the streets fill, and the water holds a second, slower city.

Looking closer

The best routes leave room for a pause. A small garden, old lettering above a door, the sound of a market being assembled: each gives a place its character.
