garden with pond minus well

i add this view of our pond to my well. when i come to think of it, i realize that our house in amersfoort in fact used to have a well in the past! the well still exists, but now it belongs to our neighbours... quite remarkable how the well and garden and the little house changed owners over the years! let me try to sketch the layout briefly by way of introduction to some more photos i posted at www.flickr.com/people/alena. there's two main houses, behind them two little backyards, one little house and a garden with a pond. the two houses, ours and the neighbours', used to belong to one person, as it were sharing one large backyard, the little house and the garden that goes with it. since the two houses split, we have one bit of the backyard, the little house and the garden with the pond, while the neighbours are left with the second bit of the backyard and the well. anyway, those old houses and gardens are like a maze; they are fitted into each other and entangled like siamese twins. i'm glad i can share the pictures. i already got one comment on flickr from someone who wanted to visit :-) for the time being, anyone can in cyberspace...
