The small fishing hamlet of Marken in Holland was separated from the mainland after a storm surge in the 13th century. A centuries-long period of isolation followed, during which time the inhabitants made their living from fishing.
For centuries the village would be flooded on a regular basis, and for this reason the houses were built on stilts and on mounds. Over the years the fishing industry declined, and earlier in the 20th century Marken had become a virtual ghost town.
However, in 1957 a causeway was constructed re-joining Marken to the mainland, when it's appeal as a tourist attraction became apparent. The village is only 16km (10 miles) from the bustling city of Amsterdam, and despite it's appeal as a tourist spot it has largely retained it's period charm, and is largely untouched by commercialism, and the tiny village does retain it's time-warp feeling.

Originally from Manchester in England, but now live near the foot of the Pennines, regarded as one of the most scenic areas of outstanding natural beauty in Great Britain.

That has always stuck with me, and I try and remember it each time I look through the viewfinder. Thank you for visiting, and I hope you find something here you like. Please enjoy your...
