After collecting my new lens somewhere in Zeeland. I went on to the famous ghost town of Doel. By the place's night security I was told that today, only 22 people stand their ground, right here where they have lived for so many years while being built in by industry and unsafely operating power plants. As the capitalistic management of the harbor and the local government tried to make them move out in order to create more harbor space which they technically never really needed, not even today. And for as long as nothing happens the rest of the village lays abandoned and dilapidated right where it is, partly vandalized and sprayed over with graffiti. Some of which are works of art, but mostly pointless tags. My best hopes and wishes go with the inhabitants still fighting for their rights to live where they always have, without accepting no-good capitalists to tell them what to do.
