Peter the Great

Today we visited family in Zaandam where I shot czar Peter the Great. This autocratic ruler of the largest country in the world was fascinated by Dutch shipbuilding craft and visited Zaandam to learn it. We Dutch are of course very proud of it and erected this statue of a boat building czar.
