Steam engines on tour. Steam engines in and around the historic city center, once they have come to a halt in front of the Town Hall, you can really see how impressive they are. Hissing, big and heavy, the smell of burning coal, from time to time the loud whistling of the steam whistles that could be heard far and wide. This steam whistle sound has been the sign that it was Vestingdagen for several editions of this event.
Hellevoetsluis has no direct link in the past with steam engines, at most with the Pomphuis of the Jan Blanken Dry Dock, the Machinistenschool or later a steam train connection with Rotterdam. Nevertheless, these British steam engines were seen and experienced as a top attraction.

They are also called Winter squash, an annual fruit representing several species of the Cucurbita. Harvested and eaten in the mature fruit stage when the seeds within have matured fully and the skin has hardened into a tough rind. At this stage, most varieties of this fruit can be stored or used for decorative and culinairy purposes for months to come.

Metasequoia glyptostroboides, one of the very special plant species at Strypemonde.

Metasequoia glyptostroboides - the dawn redwood, a fast-growing, endangered deciduous conifer, the sole living species of the genus Metasequoia, one of three species in the subfamily Sequoioideae. It is a particularly well-known example of a living fossil species. The tree faces considerable risks of extinction in its wild range due to deforestation, however it has been planted extensively in arboreta worldwide. If the species had not been discovered in 1941 but a bit later, it might have become extinct before being investigated.
Quote: Mooi weer dit #weekend om te #wandelen. Zeker als het monumentaal mooi is.

Rockanje: Strypemonde Nature
Strypemonde (Est. 1930) - a walk on this 100-hectare estate leads you through a beautiful varied forest and past a flowery forest meadow and many special trees, such as the Metasequoia Glyptostroboides and exotic oaks. The former owners of the then 2000 hectare estate were shipowners, they brought many cuttings and seeds from abroad and they still grow here. The area is also rich in tawny owls, long-eared owls and woodpeckers and you will find many mushrooms in the autumn.
The name Strypemonde comes from a wide creek, the Strype, which flowed into the sea here in the Middle Ages and which was later dammed. The hunting lodges Olaertsduin and Strypemonde are national monuments and the Schaapskooy is a municipal monument.

Pays de Belves - The village Pays-de-Belvès used to be called Belvès, it's fortified in the Middle Ages because of its strategic position and came to be known as the "Pope’s city" as it was under Clement V protection. Belvès still bears witness to a tormented past with fortified walls, a castrum (fortified camp), an 11th century auditeur’s tower, 14th-15th century castle and belfry, city hall tower, covered market, hotel with a Renaissance façade and even some ancient troglodyte dwellings. It has been designated as one of the most beautiful towns in France with impressive panoramic views on top of a hill, enough reason to be member of the "Plus Beaux Villages de France".

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.

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. 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.

These French castles are still dominating the surrounding valleys and see every single move at the Dordogne river. Just a little downstream the Dordogne river there's one of it's greatest rivals, Château de Beynac. Upstream the's Château de Montfort. They, any many more castles like these, all took part in many medieval wars.
These castles must have been very impressive during the ancient middle ages but still are today.

Perrier - refreshing but return the old logo. Today with a modern design by Andy Warhall, it replaced the elegant blond lady in swimming suite. Did you know, on the back of the cap she's totally nude.
Most of the Perrier drinks are mixed with a kind of sirop, mint is my favorite refreshment on a hot summer day.
