And I'm done.
Don't wanna spam it.
Fight generals. Please post. I wanna se how things look in other countries, especially ones I never visited.
Nice.
My town has 0 rivers, 0 lakes, 0 sea acces. The biggest attraction is a shitty shopping mall swarmed by countryside apple plantators and pink commie blocks.
Kida jelly.
>>66397617
In Poland no.
Come on. Does everyone live in a landlocked city or one without lakes/river?

1 Brugge
2 Zeebrugge is our harbour and coastal retreat
>>66398284
So it's a town near Brigge that you go to to sail/spend time by the see?
Btw. I like how you just called it "Sea Brugge".

same but with green and grey commie blocks

*Brugge
>>66398341
It is a separate town but also our harbour, do the town of Zeebrugge is really part of Brugge.
In the middle ages Brugge was a coastal town, but as our main harbour silted in the 15th century, the coastal line withdrew and the harbour had to be rebuilt a bit further. There's about 12 km difference between Brugge and Zeebrugge today.

>the coastal line withdrew
That's actually very interesting.
Kinda jelly of Brugge though, seems to be great and untouched by wars.

I love how the Koppelpoort looks like. I think it's at the back because the photo was taken from it?

A free moving coastal line has always been a problem here. Ptolemy already described it in antiquity, that the land could be flooded suddenly, in a couple of hours. Back then they had man-made hills to flee to when that happened, some still exist, or are referred to in toponymy.
Then between the 2nd and 10th century the Duinkerke II transgression happened, and a lot of previously inhabited land got flooded. That is here Ostend gets its name from. The town of Ostend and the village of Westend were the extreme ends of an island called Testerip in those days (still local dialect for 't is 't er op, or "it's on the (island)").
The name Flanders also comes from those days, it means "land that is frequently flooded" and the coastal part of Bruges in the middle ages was the first place to be officially called Flanders.
Bruges was left untouched by both World Wars by good luck.

That's interesting. Normally you don't know those things unless you talk to a local or a tour guide tells you it.
I like how people always find a way to tame water.
Here the lakes are connected with channels and if there's a hilly the boats are put on tracks. Those machines and tracks were made around 18XX and the whole trip is very climatic.
The lakes are connected to each other so that you can go from them to Baltic, Germans used them in ww2 to build ubots in mainland and just move them through channels to Baltic.
>>66398969
The water level difference between lakes was sorted by "between" zones which you enter and the gate behind you closes and the one in fron of you slowly opens and you can move foward to another lake/channel.

this is basically a architecture thread but with a twist

>I like how people always find a way to tame water.
Same here. Civilisation always is born near water.
I read somewhere that the Burgundi came from the tiny Danish island of Bornholm south of Sweden, they were expelled from there after a feud and crossed the Baltic Sea in hollowed tree-trunks all the way to the Polish shore. Just an example that goes to show you the extent of taming the waters.
We need images and posts.
Is poland 2nd world?
>>66400873
No. We are far from the western world as far Mars is from Venus. They can see each other but never come close.

>>66400932
that's a lot of boats
>>66400952
The city's dubbed the boating capital of the world.
We've got like 200 miles of protected navigable waterways and something like 50000 registered boats in town.
Plus that picture is of the annual boat show, which is supposedly the largest show in the world.
>>66401020
Naturally I'm not part of the wealthy that owns these things. Although I wish I were.
>>66401020
I like those yachts, all my city has is lakes so we don't get big ones like you do.
Seems to be warm as fuck as well which is a total opposite of what we got here.
>>66401031
Also I can see you can "own" a shore in US and block it out. Here it's illegal to block a passage so even if you own it you can block it and you have to leave a walkway along the lake through your possesion.

>Seems to be warm as fuck as well which is a total opposite of what we got here.
Well, yes. South Florida is famous for being mild during the winter. Lots of Canadians, Euros, and New Yorkers spend their winters down here.
Come for a visit some time. Fuck a Venezuelan girl.
>>66401130
Well, it depends on the state and local government. You can't own shoreline on the coast (as in, no private beaches), but you can own shoreline on inland waterways.

I want to be a DIY herbalist druggie in Florida. The climate is well suited to grow Psychotria viridis and alba shrubs hich contain DMT, or similar Australian Acacias. Probably even E. coca and a Floridan variant of star anise has 90% of safrole (MDMA precursor) in the leaf oil.
