hi guys..being in a total urban country in singapore..i'v never seen a ditch before..so how does it look like and please tell me more on the textures on the side and the colours
thanks

That really depends on what the ditch is for.
Is it an irrigation ditch?
Is it a drainage ditch?
Is it a ditch for cover such as in WWI trench warfare?

It also depends on the dirt. Is it hard packed clay, soft earth, frozen ground, dry, wet....

Go to google.com and search for ditches.

Ditch behind my house:



Some more ditches in the area behind my house...typical Dutch!



And another typical Dutch setting:



If you mean this type of ditch, the one with the water in it, and you want photo's of Dutch ditches, I maybe can make some better photo's for you...

Greetings from the Netherlands!

Nice pictures Martinnn, they almost make me feel homesick.. . Must be great for ice skating in the winter when the 'ice rink' runs behind your garden. :-)
But what about the midges in the summer??

Ik hoop dat je niet teveel last van muggen hebt in de zomer..

Groeten
