in holland, orange = good

Orange is the "royal" color in Holland, but rather than it having any hyper-nationalistic vibe, it's sort of treated like just a fun color, one which people genuinely like. So, it's everywhere, and recently this strange machine with a bright orange fence popped up in my neighborhood. When it was being built, I thought it may be a social art project, but it seems to be doing work of some kind, although I can't begin to guess what it is. Probably something to do with water.
