Foreign Eye

Foreign EyeNo matter how often I see it, the first sight of the Dutch landscape from the airplane window is always breathtaking.

How is it possible for a country to be this flat. The neat fields and farmland, in their wonderfully colorful geometrical shapes, look like some huge, weird checkerboard set up for giants to play on or like a Mondriaan canvas rolled out flat on the ground, stretching out across this flat as a pancake land for as far as the eye can see. Surely it was a Dutchman who was the last person in the world to believe Magellan’s claim that the Earth was in fact round.
