[edit]Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:GroteWerfMarkenNederland.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on April 21, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-04-21. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 22:51, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
A panoramic view of Grote Werf, a community in the municipality of Waterland, located on the Marken peninsula in the Netherlands. Marken is a tourist attraction, well-known for its characteristic wooden houses. The island is connected to the mainland by a causeway and was a separate municipality until 1991, when it was merged into Waterland.Photo: Massimo Catarinella

[edit]"The island and its inhabitants were the subject of considerable ethnographic interest in the late nineteenth century." Shouldn't we specify why?:
