I wouldn't know; I've never had to hide a body.

Ever heard of the phrase "Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live."?
I'm that violent psychopath
Dumping bodies is also a nice skill on your resume

I'm familiar with the phrase. My problem with using psychopaths for maintenance or QA is that they let their emotions control. That causes them to make mistakes.
I much prefer the old-fashioned methods - proper design, good coding practices, etc., the idea being that if a bug makes it all the way to QA - something has gone very wrong. Of course, I don't work in "Internet time"...

How you tell the difference between summer and winter? It is unclear from the pictures...

The winter pictures should be clear, there's ice on the ground and in the water.
That I had the actual date the photos were taken in the filename helped too

Ugh! Too flat!

Welcome to the Netherlands!
Our highest "mountain" is the Vaalserberg with its peak at 322 m 
I live on the coast at minus a few meters (we have dykes to keep the water out, another Dutch "invention"!).

Looks very tranquil and peaceful. Exactly the kind of place I'd love to live.

Except for the church bells, which can be heard throughout the village every whole and half hour (although I'm used to them, so I rarely hear them anymore)

Yep, same here 
I love it 90% of the time.
But that 10% where you want to go out and do something, it sucks.

Nice wide view.
Is that grass?
Why the grass not so high?
Is there anyone who cut the grass regularly?

Yep, probably the farmers who don't want their land to get overgrown.
But also the local governments or water authority.
Us Dutchies have to keep the ditches clean and clear
If ditches get filled with reeds and leaves the water won't get away and they'll overflow and we'll sink to the bottom of the ocean.
In fact, if you have a ditch on your property it's your responsibility to keep it clean or you'll be fined (but most people don't have ditches in their garden).
Living below sea level and all.

No one said anything about a wall... 
We have dykes, dunes, ditches, sluices, but not actual walls
