Great pics! The first two are suitable for framing as landscape scenes!
Looks like the houseboat in #3 could be rather damp, dark, and cold to live in. Life below the waterline and all... But maybe there are things one can do to warm up/brighten the bilge.
We have "live-aboards" anchored off the Marin country bay shoreline, between Sausalito and Novato. It's a rather alternative culture there, somewhat like an artist colony, people who'd rather live on sometimes ramshackle boats without the usual utilities/amenities. Periodically the local authorities try to get rid of the community, but for some reason they are protected. And then some people live on their boats while anchored in various marinas around the bay.

Hi Louis. Merry Christmas. Thank you for the lovely pictures.
Groningen looks like a very nice town.

These into houseboats remodeled ships can be very modern and comfortable on the inside. Most of them have central heating and are isolated, so they're not more damp than a house. They have connections for electricity, water, natural gas, phone and internet, so they have everything a house has too.
Groningen is a very nice town to live in. It has a combination of modern architecture and historic buildings.
I didn't have time to take more pictures and I'll be away for a week, so in the new year I will take some more pictures.
Happy Holidays,
Louis

And where do you think you're going mister?
Don't forget to pack clean underwear and don't spend all your money, be sure to bring at least half of it back, no drinking and no smoking,, and try to have a good time.

It's so beautiful where you live, Louis,
the boats are literally right under your nose, at almost at your fingertips.
Must be fun and exciting
