Book cover of Orange Sky, Rising Water by Nicholas Walton. The design features a bright orange sky above a blue flood, with a traditional Dutch windmill partially submerged in water. The subtitle reads: The Remarkable Past and Uncertain Future of the Netherlands.
Congratulations @npw99.bsky.social, Orange Sky, Rising Water is out now! ๐๐๐ณ๐ฑ
โWalton is a wonderful guide to the Netherlandsโ hidden oddities, and perhaps even to the countryโs soul.โ โ @simonkuper.bsky.social

An image of Nicholas Walton, a caucasian man wearing a blue top and glasses in a field of red flowers and wind turbines. This is next to an image of his book. The top half of the book cover has an orange background. There is an illustrated windmill that appears to be sinking into a blue sea at the bottom of the cover. There is orange, white and blue lettering that reads, 'Orange Sky, Rising Water: The Remarkable Part and Uncertain Future of the Netherlands. Nicholas Walton.'

So far I'm seeing lots of crappy political takes (just like old Twitter!) and some nice photos of landscapes. So I'll stick with this for now. #Genoa tonight, from up on Albaro. #Genova.

Looking forward to the day I have even time and space to get my head around this new thing.
Until then, this was the view this morning when I took the dogs out.
