Those are amazing! It just seems like such a waste, all that food could help feed alot of hungry people. Sorry, it's just the first thing I thought of, but thank you for sharing the pictures.

Wasn't the Netherlands once ruled by The House Of Orange? Seems fitting to me.

We can grow oranges/lemons outside in the very South of England but not commercially as far as I know, in other areas they are grown in greenhouses. we do grow palm trees outside over a lot of the South of England, we have them here in Kent. Once again I would like to apologise for believing the impossible.
Glad that I read through all the responses before replying myself. I was about to ask where you found hills like that in Holland, as they certainly have never been there when I've been to visit! :lol:

They're still lovely photos, regardless of where they are from. Thanks for sharing with us!
