Hellevoetsluis - Tarka - le petite dame - Garden portraits
Tarka - our elegant, sweet and gentle lady and for so many years our beloved friend. A tiny female cat but more of a tender lady who loved to be very near to us. She loved the sunlight, our garden, and always with or in short range of Zammys. She could not actually mew so she always purred or showed a vibrating tail. Always in for some play or a gentle kuddle, but we most beloved the very special contact we shared together. We enjoyed these precious moments together, to be kept in our memory forever.
Tarka at the age of 12 years 5 months 20 days.

Artwork Cornucopia - Hoorn des Overvloeds.
.
Artwork Cornucopia - Hoorn des Overvloeds - the interior of the Markthal is covered with a 11,000 m² (two football fields) large artwork by Arno Coenen and Iris Roskam, entitled "Hoorn des Overvloeds". This title refers to the Cornucopia, a horn of Latin mythology which symbolizes abundance and saturation.
The artwork shows strongly enlarged fruits, vegetables, seeds, fish, flowers and insects. It was made using digital 3D-techniques, printed on 4000 perforated aluminum panels and covers the ceiling of the hall. Some now call it "The largest artwork in the world" or "The Sistine Chapel of Rotterdam".

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: Even #wandelen in een sprookje dit #weekend? Ontdek de #herfst die monumentaal mooi is.

Rockanje: Strypemonde Nature
A nice walk on this 100-hectare Strypemonde 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 (anno 1930) are national monuments and the Schaapskooy is a municipal monument.

Hellevoetsluis - During the time of the United Provinces Hellevoetsluis was the naval port of the Admiralty of de Maze (Rotterdam) and could accommodate an entire fleet within a special land-enclosed fortress with harbour and dockyard facilities, accessible through a canal. Thanks to its strategic situation the town grew from the beginning of the 17th century to be the homeport for the Dutch war fleet. In later years the port was fortified more and more and Hellevoetsluis therefore became a unique combination of fortified town and naval port. The Admirals Maarten Tromp, Michiel de Ruyter and Piet Heyn had their home base here and in 1688 during the Glorious Revolution William III of Orange's invasion fleet departed from the port.

Breda: Architecture
The "Grote" or "Our Lady's Church" (Groundbreaking 1410 and completed in 1547) is Breda's most important monument and landmark of Breda. The tower of the church, visible from a distance at 97 meters high, can be climbed on some days. The church is located in the center of Breda on the Grote Markt.
It is a cross basilica in the Brabant Gothic style, which has been restored several times over time. Also of national significance because of the Prinsenkapel, the mausoleum of the early ancestors of the Dutch royal family, the Nassau-Dillenburg family.
Both because of its construction and its location, the church is considered one of the most beautiful in the Netherlands. As an example of Brabant Gothic, the most intact and elegant in the Netherlands.

Also a short distance away are two burial mounds from the Bronze Age.

De Hondsrug UNESCO Geopark - Hunebed (Dolmen) - a megalithic burial chamber from the Neolithic (4000-3000 BC) of the Trechterbeker (Funnelbeaker) culture. As a portal grave built from huge stones that were dragged along by the ice from southern Sweden and Finland during the Ice Age for about 150,000 years. There are 52 dolmens in Drenthe and two in Groningen and traces of dolmens have been found in at least thirty other places, but without the large stones. Originally there would have been at least 88 dolmens in the Netherlands.

Paris: Urban Photography
Bouquinistes de Paris - iconic booksellers who operate along large sections of the Seine River embankments. Their characteristic green boxes, filled with a diverse array of secondhand and antiquarian books, prints, postcards, and other ephemera, have been a fixture of the Parisian landscape for centuries since the 16th century with itinerant peddlers.
In essence, the "right to sell here" for the Bouquinistes wasn't a one-time purchase of land. Instead, it evolved over centuries from informal peddling to a regulated system of permits granted by the city, based on historical presence and tradition.** This system acknowledges their cultural significance and their long-standing role in the intellectual and artistic life of Paris.
The Bouquinistes are now recognized as an integral part of Paris's identity and have even been designated a **UNESCO World Heritage site** as part of the "Banks of the Seine." This recognition underscores the historical and cultural value of their unique trade and their enduring presence along the river..

One of the Travers le temps sections. Vintage shops, facades and decorations constructed just like how it was in the early beginning of modern-day Paris. Nice vintage posters decorate the walls, the few streetlights illuminate the scene. Even the train accident at the Montparnasse trainstation can be seen.

Ever been to a Roman Amphitheater?.
.
Everyone knows the Flavian Amphitheater (Amphitheater Flavium), better known as the Colosseum, built in the 1st century AD. in Rome, it was the largest amphitheater in the Roman Empire and is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is almost unreal to see a nice smaller replica of such a Roman theater here in this park.
Huge Roman shields adorn the large arena which is now used as a theatre. It is strongly reminiscent of a Roman Amphitheater as it was designed and built. Realize that the facade seen from the outside is three times as high and 10 times as impressive for a child. A small Roman guard post outside supervises this structure, entirely in the same Roman style and also at a great height.
