Black dolphins

In Haarlemmermeer, each town is characterized by an iconic building. Leimuiderbrug is officially so small that it’s actually a hamlet instead of a village. You can recognize this place by its black dolphins. These are the heavy wooden poles you can see in the water. As a kind of anchor, dolphins are standing heavy poles or constructions to which boats can be moored.
