Gorinchem 2015 – Church tower

Indrukwekkende toren; mooi geschoten.

Na het bouwen van de eerste twee verdiepingen is de toren gaan verzakken. De derde verdieping is er vervolgens recht op gezet, waardoor de toren een knik heeft.

Good shot.

Interesting about the third floor and consequent kink in the overall structure, trial and error eh ;¬)

Building in the Dutch swamp is always difficult.

“When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England.”

King of Swamp Castle: We live in a bloody swamp. We need all the land we can
get.
Prince Herbert: But I don't like her.
King of Swamp Castle: Don't like her? What's wrong with her. She's
beautiful, she's rich, she's got huge ... tracts of land.

Inderdaad, die toren is vrij scheef van onderen.

Een heel bekende toren voor mij, ik ben in Gorkum opgegroeid, maar al ruim 45 jaar geleden vertrokken. Woon je in Gorkum?

Nee, ik was er even op bezoek.

Dacht dat je misschien een oud-Gorkummer was :D
