Exuberant Christmas decorations give the mall a festive atmosphere. Large Christmas wreaths and strings of lights that often look great in combination with the architecture.
The overall looks of the shops are very nice, non of the shops are alike and they are all painted in nice colors with just enough decorations. As a whole it is like a village with beautiful houses.

Haar or sea fret at Brouwersdam beach. Haar or sea fret along the dunes. Haar is typically formed over the sea and is blown to the land by the wind. This commonly occurs when warmer moist air moves over the relatively cooler North Sea causing the moisture in the air to condense, forming haar.
Mist komt op boven zee wanneer koude lucht over relatief warm zeewater stroomt of wanneer warme lucht in aanraking komt met een koude zee. In het voorjaar en het begin van de zomer kan bij aanvoer van warme lucht uit Zuid-Europa boven de koude Noordzee een uitgestrekt mistgebied ontstaan - Brouwersdam - Ouddorp/NL

Plaquette Willem III at Prinsenhuis. It shows a portrait of stadtholder William III. After a successful crossing to England, he and his wife Mary ascended the British throne in February 1689. An important event in Dutch history in which Hellevoetsluis played an important role as a major naval base.
This crossing needed a lot, a lot of goods and material, food to feed the more than 12,000 men and 4,000 horses for the journey of at least three weeks. More than 260 ships had been collected off the coast of Hellevoetsluis, of which 48 were warships. That must have been an immense logistical operation. The fleet departed on Saturday 30 October but failed due to bad weather. They gathered again at Hellevoetsluis, departed for a second time on 11 November, which now succeeded, King William III landed in England at Brixham. His advance to London soon resembled a triumphal march in which the English army already partly joined him. In January 1689, the English King James fled to France, leaving the English throne to be presented to William and Mary in February of that year. He and his wife Mary ascended the British throne in February 1689 as part of the Glorious Revolution.

Hellevoetsluis - National history
Prinsenhuis (Est 1664, monument) - built in the mid-seventeenth century as a home for the "commies", an official, and lodging of the Committed Councils of the States of Holland and West Friesland who supervised Hellevoetsluis on behalf of the Committed Councils of Holland charged with the supervision, construction, maintenance and operation of the port and Fortress and collecting taxes. With building included living- and guest rooms on the first floor, and a meeting room, kitchen and pantry on the ground floor.
From 1963 to 1966, with the support of funds from the flood disaster (Watersnoodramp), the restoration was carried out to bring this Admiralty building back to its original 17th-century Dutch Classical style. The layout and interior have also been adapted, such as a new council chamber on the first floor and many original decorations have been restored. Today we see a stylish facade of bricks with the original 17th-century cross frames and a stately landing. With on either side the outbuildings such as the 'De Ruyterhuis' and 'Het Kleine Kerkje', formerly warehouses and rifle storage and workshops, this as a whole gives a stately and appropriate historical appearance.
The monumental building is still in use by the municipality, with the main public role being the use of the council chamber as a wedding hall.

Sarlat-la-Caneda - The Dordogne is a region of Aquitaine, France. While long a favorite with visitors, the region has escaped much of the overdevelopment of some of France's other regions. The overall rural France surrounding has a relaxed and steady pace of life. It's a lovely countryside, dotted by the golden stone houses native to this region, makes Dordogne seem a little like a cross between a fairy tale and a movie set.
Castles, chateaux, and other important historical museums are sprinkled throughout the region attractively distributed throughout a breath-taking scenery. Most prominent is the Dordogne river, canoeing down the River Dordogne is a fantastic way to see the region. Along the river a wealth of story-book chateaux such as Château de Beynac, Château des Milandes and the fortified Chateau de Castelnaud. So many medieval fortresses but also Roman remains, ancient cave dwellings and natural caves that stretch way back in ancient history.
Enjoy the many villages in the Périgord like Monpazier, Montignac, Saint Cyprien, Sarlat-la-Canéda, Bergerac, Montignac, with the world famous UNESCO World Heritage prehistoric cave paintings site of Lascaux. The legendary stone villages of Dordogne, including Monpazier, Rocamadour, Domme and La Roque Gageac, are unforgettably picturesque and many of them part of "Le plus beau village de France". Worth to mention are the various "Jardins remarquables", beautiful gardens to discover.
Not to forget, the Dordogne region includes a magnificent cuisine, famous especially for its pâtés, is often rated by native French as the country's best. Some other of the many local specialties are Pommes Sarladaises, Confit de canard, Foie gras including pâtés Black truffle of Périgord and Tourain blanchi. The market of Sarlat-le Caneda is just one of many remarkable markets in the area, the true gems are the markets in the smaller villages, truly a shopper's dream come true.
A region absolutely worth to return repeatingly, discovering so much more time and time again.

Sleeping Beauty Castle - completed in 1992, for the park's 12 April opening, Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant stands 50 meters (160 ft) tall. The Castle is home to a dragon, which, at 27 meters (89 ft) from head to tail, was the largest Animatronic figure yet built when the park opened in April 1992.

Ancient Greek Pithoi Mannerists designs.
.
Ancient Greek pottery designs on a huge ancient Greek vase, it has the shape of a Pithoi intended for huge amounts of storage. The designs are completely appropriate in the humor that we see more in the Asterix comic books. Clear attention has been paid to the design, which has been artfully rendered in a funny form. These drawings are really great fun.
The designs on the Greek Pithoi shaped vases are called Mannerists (Greek vase painting), often depict scenes from well known Greek stories about their gods and goddesses, heroes, battles and even athletes. Many also included animals like horses, sea creatures like dolphins, or even mythological monsters.

Steamlocomotive Moortje (Est. 1907).
.
Moortje is the second locomotive of the Efteling Steam Train Company. Her name refers to her black-colored appearance. It dates from 1907 or 1908 and was put into use at the Efteling in 1974.
Moortje was built in 1907 or 1908 by Orenstein & Koppel, a factory of narrow gauge systems that supplied a lot to the mining and brick industry. The train with serial number 2697 was delivered to the contractor Piette & Joseph. and came into the hands of a contractor in Genval, Belgium.
When the Efteling bought her in 1970, it was little more than a rusty pile of old iron. Was first renovated by the Technical Service of the Efteling. A train set was built at the front behind Moortje, with four open wagons, just like Aagje had. In addition, two closed variants were added, reminiscent of the Vicinaux-like carriages of the Belgian local railways. She was put into service in the 1974 season.
In 1987 a major overhaul followed at the Tilburg workshop of the Dutch Railways. Exceptional because a locomotive owned by a private organization is being maintained by the NS. Moortje rode her laps over the route again a year later. A commemorative plaque on the boiler mentions the place and date of completion of the overhaul: "Nederlandse Spoorwegen, revision 15 March 1988, Hoofdwerkplaats Tilburg". So per locomotive a very nice piece of industrial heritage that is still running.

Prinsenhuis
Prinsenhuis (Est 1664, monument) - built in the mid-seventeenth century as a home for the "commies", an official, and lodging of the Committed Councils of the States of Holland and West Friesland who supervised Hellevoetsluis on behalf of the Committed Councils of Holland charged with the supervision, construction, maintenance and operation of the port and Fortress and collecting taxes. With building included living- and guest rooms on the first floor, and a meeting room, kitchen and pantry on the ground floor.
From 1963 to 1966, with the support of funds from the flood disaster (Watersnoodramp), the restoration was carried out to bring this Admiralty building back to its original 17th-century Dutch Classical style. The layout and interior have also been adapted, such as a new council chamber on the first floor and many original decorations have been restored. Today we see a stylish facade of bricks with the original 17th-century cross frames and a stately landing. With on either side the outbuildings such as the 'De Ruyterhuis' and 'Het Kleine Kerkje', formerly warehouses and rifle storage and workshops, this as a whole gives a stately and appropriate historical appearance.
The monumental building is still in use by the municipality, with the main public role being the use of the council chamber as a wedding hall.
