Oops! A car driving through a restaurant interrupts my serene landscape pictures!

A series of pictures in this time of the year of the area surrounding our villageHurdegaryp. You can also see pictures on my other blog.
This area is partly covered with rugged marsh- and reed land, in Frisian language: "reidlân".
Thank you for visiting my p-blog and leaving your comment and advice!

Great reflection! I like the combination of the rural, the modern, and the sitting area.

@e.: Thanks e.! It's a fish restaurant and yes, the owner hast taste: the fence, the color etc. are attractive. You can also purchase fish etc. and cook it at home. The day the picture was taken it was too cold to sit on the terrace, but inside it was also empty so there were no casualties.
Cool reflection !

@MaryB: Thanks MaryB! You noticed well that the car drives over the tables, that's why I was so startled and within a split second I produced my camera and could register it; the police are still busy investigating it and are very happy with my photo :) I hope you will soon be able to upload, because not being able to do so is comparable with an alcoholist without alcoholic beverage around , I hope you let your family not suffer too much :). In case of emergency, send me an e-mail and I will reply, you have then my e-mail address and I can upload for you after you sent your picture to me.
Love how this SUV looks like its floating - super angle!

@Rabbit: This was - I'll be honest - pure luck, I didn't see the car until I saw it on the pc! I wanted to picture the restaurant, I heard a car and pressed the button, thinking I was early enough not to have the car on the picture; but the car wasn't between me and the restaurant, but elsewhere, you see the result!
A curious and interesting shot! I've always hoped we'd see flying cars someday; looks like you already have them in the Netherlands. :)

@Damon Schreiber: Yes, Damon, it's not widely known because there's no worldwide market for it, they can only fly short distances. Most countries are larger than ours and airline companies wouldn't tolerate competition from flying cars for long distances. Maybe that's also the reason why this short-distance flyer came down too soon and landed just next to the restaurant, too close to stop before entering it. Luckily there were no guests at the time, and the staff was in the kitchen.
