The Urban River





In April, 2007 Henk Hofstra created an "urban river" in Drachten, The Netherlands. A 1km stretch of road was painted bright blue to envisage an actual river using 4,000 litres of paint! The river actually symbolises two things, one is in memorial of an actual river that flowed through the city and second. The second is to remind us of the importance of water which is done by the 8m high letters on the road spelling "WATER IS LIFE". Well at least you know you won’t get your breaks wet.
