It may be difficult to see but the oldtimer on the bike was wearing his wooden shoes! Yes they do wear wooden shoes but usually with leather liners to make them snug and comfortable!
A typical quaint Dutch farmstead just off the dike near the Waal River. The Waal is the Southern branch of the Rhine in the Nederland. Just in case you don't know the Rhine splits into two upstream and then sort of becomes one again near Rotterdam.
The area is potato country. Fields are plowed and ready for the spring.
The "Big Road" bridge spans the Vaal while barge traffic moves up and down the river! The water in the foreground is apparently flooded area for water control downstream.
Cows in their shed loafing and eating! I would guess this herd numbered 40 or so Holsteins.
