Women of Spakenburg

Already a year later, and again we're on the fishing day of Spakenburg. It's so good to be here. I made many pictures, but I especially love those made of the women of Spakenburg with their beautyful kraplappen, 

To answer the question of Chookey: Every year less women wear traditional clothes. A group of probably 40-50 women wear this costume daily. So long time they feared the costumes would be no longer part of the streets of Spakenburg. But there is much more interest now from younger generations. Not to wear it daily but to make it and wear it on special days like the Fishing Day. The Historical Club is giving very regular courses, and they're well visited.
