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

Always a greeting with great enthusiasm, walking over its large branches, moving its head busily. Sometimes talking, even whistling enticingly. No, certainly not to pet, but just to chat like a good friend. And remeber, not for sale!
He lives in the big greenhouse, has a huge place of branches and toys. Very happy when someone comes near him. To just say hello, chat for a while, before he strolls over his branches again.

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.

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. The walkthrough attraction consists of a dimly lit cavern with the large dragon sleeping silently. Occasionally it will 'wake up', puffing smoke and growling. The building also contains La Galerie de la Belle au Bois Dormant, a gallery of displays which illustrate the story of Sleeping Beauty in tapestries, stained glass windows and figures. La Boutique du Château, a shop selling Christmas ornaments year-round, and Merlin l'Enchanteur, a shop specialising in handmade glass figures, are located on ground floor.

The falconers present during a bird show a nice collection of diurnal and nocturnal raptors every day. The birds, some very special to see, are also to be admired outside the shows. The raptor show takes place on the northern esplanade of the castle, in front of the Renaissance facade of the castle and overlooking the Dordogne valley.
During the show the falconers are constantly and very rapid talking in French only. An immense load of information during an hour about these birds, this while most of the visitors are foreign and don't understand this huge ammount of French. Luckely the many birds are very nice to see.
