By the way, for Hollanders, what is the distinction between Netherlands and Holland?
Actually, that picture was taken in Oudenaarde, Belgium, at the start of the Retro Tour of Flanders (which is - more or less - the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium).
Technically, Holland consists of just the two western provinces North and South Holland. For Hollanders that difference is of little consequence. For Netherlanders outside Holland that is a very different matter.
