Foie Gras facade, one of the many shops that sell regional specialities.
Foie gras - French for '"fat liver"'), is a specialty food product made of the liver of a duck or goose fattened by gavage (force feeding). A popular and well-known delicacy in French cuisine. Its flavor is described as rich, buttery, and delicate, unlike that of an ordinary duck or goose liver. Foie gras is sold whole, or is prepared into mousse, parfait, or pâté, and may also be served as an accompaniment to another food item, such as steak.
Gavage - the technique of gavage dates as far back as 2500 BC, when the ancient Egyptians began keeping birds for food and deliberately fattened the birds through force-feeding. Today, France is by far the largest producer and consumer of foie gras. Gavage-based foie gras production is controversial, due mainly to the animal welfare concerns about force-feeding, intensive housing and husbandry, and enlarging the liver to 10 times its usual volume.

Sarlat-la-Caneda - One of the most prominent villages in the Dordogne region is Sarlat-la-Canéda. A very popular destination in the Périgord Noir, maybe because modern history has largely passed it by. Sarlat has remained preserved and one of the towns most representative of 14th century France. The old centre consists of impeccably restored stone buildings, with 77 protected monuments it's on France's tentative list for future nomination as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Largely car-free with lots of narrow ancient streets and small stores, an absolute pleasure to walk through and to discover.

Capture of Brielle
April 1st, 1572 - the capture of Brielle by the Watergeuzen. A turning point in the uprising of the Low Countries against Spain in the Eighty Years' War. Militarily the success was minor as the port of Brielle was poorly defended by the Spanish, but it provided the first foothold on land for the rebels at a time when the rebellion was all but crushed, and it offered the sign for a new revolt throughout the Netherlands which led to the formation of the Dutch Republic.
The Watergeuzen were led by William van der Marck, Lord of Lumey, and by two of his captains, Willem Bloys van Treslong and Lenaert Jansz de Graeff. After they were expelled from England by Elizabeth I, they needed a place to shelter their 25 ships. As they sailed towards Brielle, they were surprised to find out that the Spanish garrison led by the Spanish "Iron" Duke of Alva protagonists was poorly defended. On the evening of April 1 in 1572, the 600 men sacked the port, rammed the city gates, defeated the Spanish soldiers and liberated Brielle as the first Dutch city in the Netherlands from de Spanish .
Nowadays a very popular annual UNESCO event with lots of Watergeuzen, Spanish soldiers and medieval dressed people in a city center all dressed up just like then on that historical day.

On the 17th snowfall from early morning to afternoon with little to no wind. It quickly formed a thick layer of snow that remained everywhere. A beautiful sight, after these days the snow quickly melted away again.

Hellevoetsluis: Weather Photography
Snowfall is a rare phenomenon in the Netherlands, occurring on average only 20 days per year. When snow falls, it has a major effect on daily life in the Netherlands, such as enormous traffic delays, damage and power outages. Snow can also be fun, and many people enjoy playing in the snow or making snowmen. Nowadays the weather forecast is more likely to snow and therefore also frost. This can lead to icing on roads and sidewalks, which can also affect traffic. Just like snow, frost can also cause damage to plants and trees.
Snowfall is a beautiful natural phenomenon that can give a magical atmosphere to the Netherlands. However, it is important to exercise caution during snowfall and to keep an eye on local weather forecasts. But, if there is snow, if possible, go outside to take some beautiful pictures of this weather phenomenon..
