Zijn graffritivrienden hebben er geen gras over laten groeien.
Bij de verbouwing van het Provinciehuis aan de Benoordenhoutseweg verschenen kort na zijn dood 2 muren met het portret van Akbar.
In 2005, kort na mijn pensionering, ben ik op flickr terechtgekomen. Daar ontmoette ik enkele Haagse fotografen. Bij een solo-tentoonstelling van Bas Bogers, in de galerie van zijn zus in de Denneweg, ontmoette ik toen Roel en Akbar voor het eerst off-line.
Wat later ontstond het "Haags Bakkie", een ongeorganiseerd clubje met dezelfde hobby: fotografie. We dronken af en toe ergens koffie, bespraken belangrijke zaken en gingen ook af en toe op reis naar fotografisch interessante plaatsen. Akbar was er ook meestal bij. Graffiti, urbex en straatfotografie was zijn specialiteit. Hij heeft mij met andere ogen naar straatkunst leren kijken en leren waarderen. Met de trein gingen we af en toe het hele land door. Van Leeuwarden, Eindhoven, Amsterdam en Rotterdam. Soms hadden we een urbexbestemming maar ook een museumbezoek. We stonden samen, met onze hoogtevrees, bovenop de Euromast in Rotterdam.
Er is nog zoveel te vertellen en te herinneren. Neem alleen maar het "media Me" project waarvoor we met z'n allen afreisden naar de Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam voor de Wereldpremiere van deze film.
Na Gisella heeft nu ook Akbar onze groep verlaten.
Bedankt voor je wijze lessen en je gewaardeerde gezelschap Akbar.
Ik ga je missen.
Akbar's tomb is the mausoleum of the third and greatest Mughal emperor Akbar. The tomb was built in 1605–1613 by his son, Jahangir and is situated on 119 acres of grounds in Sikandra, a suburb of Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. The buildings are constructed mainly from a deep red sandstone, enriched with features in white marble.
Akbar I was the third Mughal emperor, who reigned from 1556 to 1605. Akbar succeeded his father, Humayun, under a regent, Bairam Khan, who helped the young emperor expand and consolidate Mughal domains in the Indian subcontinent. Akbar gradually enlarged the Mughal Empire to include much of the Indian subcontinent through Mughal military, political, cultural, and economic dominance. Under Akbar, Mughal India developed a strong and stable economy, which tripled in size and wealth, leading to commercial expansion and greater patronage of an Indo-Persian culture. Akbar's courts at Delhi, Agra, and Fatehpur Sikri attracted holy men of many faiths, poets, architects, and artisans, and become known as centres of the arts, letters, and learning.
On 3 October 1605, Akbar fell ill from an attack of dysentery, from which he never recovered. He is believed to have died on 26 October 1605. After Akbar's death, his son Jahangir planned and completed the construction of his father's tomb in 1605–1613. It cost 1,500,000 rupees to build and took 3 or 4 years to complete.
As Viceroy of India, George Curzon directed extensive repairs and restoration of Akbar's mausoleum, which were completed in 1905. Curzon discussed the restoration of the mausoleum and other historical buildings in Agra in connection with the passage of the Ancient Monuments Preservation Act in 1904, when he described the project as "an offering of reverence to the past and a gift of recovered beauty to the future". This preservation project may have discouraged veneration of the mausoleum by pilgrims and people living nearby.
The Spice Bazaar is located in Akbar Mandi (market) within Lahore's Walled City. It was established by the 3rd Moghul Emperor Akbar some 400 years ago, and still remains Asia's largest organized spice market. Akbar's idea was to bring all traders and merchants in one location for growth and ease of commerce, rather than having them dispersed all over town operating out of individual dwellings. This centuries old marketplace is still actively trading today.

It is located at Sikandra, in the suburbs of Agra, on the Mathura road (NH2), 8 km west-northwest of the city center. About 1 km away from the tomb lies the Tomb of Mariam-uz-Zamani, Akbar's favourite wife, who after the death of Akbar laid a large garden around his tomb and was later buried there by her son, Jahangir.

Près de 80 personnes sont mortes lors de la prise d'otage au Bataclan à Paris. Des hommes armés et cagoulés sont entrés dans la salle de spectacle et ont fait feu sur la foule en criant "Allah Akbar", puis ont pris en otage les spectateurs. La police a rapidement donné l'assaut et abattu les trois assaillants.
C'est l’événement le plus dramatique de cette soirée d'apocalypse à Paris, où se sont déroulées près de quatre fusillades la nuit de vendredi à samedi. On ne sait pas combien de terroristes ont œuvré cette nuit. Certains estiment que les différents assaillants se sont regroupés au Bataclan où tout s'est terminé, vu qu'il n'y a pas eu d'autres interventions policières ailleurs dans Paris.

A view of the river Yamuna as it winds its way to meet the River Ganges at the Sangam (on the horizon) at Prayagraj , India.To the left of the shot are the ramparts of Prayagraj (Allahabad) Fort built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar in the 16th century. As the sun sets, lights come on in the camps established for pilgrims to the Kumbh Mela
The Kumbh Mela or Festival of the Sacred Pitcher is an important Hindu Pilgrimage celebrated approximately every 6th, 12th and 144 years, correlated with the partial or full revolution of Jupiter. It represents the largest gathering of human beings in the world.Some come to take a dip in the holy waters and atone for their sins, some come in quest of spirituality or inner peace and some come just to witness the Wonder that is India.:-)
The festival is marked by a ritual dip in the waters which Hindus believe is a means of atonement for past sins.The festival is also a celebration of community commerce with numerous fairs, mass gathering of sadhus(monks), religious discources by saints and other activities.
This year the Maha Kumbh Mela which happens every 144 years is being held at the city of Prayagraj or Allahabad in the state of Uttar Pradesh. It commenced on the 13th of January, 2025 and already over 50 crore devotees have visited the Mela. Sadly, there have been two stampedes in which a total of over a hundred pilgrims have lost their lives.
The Maha Kumbh has seen celebrities not only from India but also abroad. Laurene Powell Jobs, wife of late Steve Jobs, Chris Martin of Coldplay, Dakota Johnson and Richard Gere are some international celebrities who have visited the Maha Kumbh Mela, 2025.
The Mela comes to an end on the 26th of February on the auspicious occassion of Maha Shivratri. Incredible India!

Portret van Akbar "the Pictureman"
Opening foto-expositie / Akbar Simonse / Straatfotografie / studio Lissabon Den Haag / 3 november 2019
I have the great pleasure to work with Akbar Simonse, our dear friend. When I saw his portrait posted below, I asked him if I can make him a model. And I am so lucky that he agreed. And here is what I came up with for him and for all of you, his dearest friends.
If you Google for "akbar the traveller", it's currently listed as #1.
Rebuilding the city never stops. Activities move, housing demands change, traffic seeks new routes. An architectural walk is a nice way to explore all this. It’s also a fine excuse to meet some Flickr friends...
Fatehpur Sikri è il più tipico esempio di città murata moghul, con aree private e pubbliche ben delimitate e porte di accesso imponenti. La architettura è un misto di stile indù ed islamico e riflette la visione politica e filosofica degli imperatori moghul ed il loro stile di governo. Dopo l'abbandono forzato della città, molti dei palazzi e delle moschee furono saccheggiate; l'attuale stato di conservazione, molto buono, si deve ai lavori di consolidamento iniziati dal viceré Lord Curzon.
Quello che oggi rimane della capitale di Akbar è l'area del palazzo, costituita da numerosi edifici separati, che si affacciano su una piazza molto ampia, e da una vasta moschea, collegata al palazzo.
KrisKros asked me if he could use my last self portrait to work on it. This is the result. I think he did a great job! Thanks Joe!

Pictured is the Delhi gate. The seemingly impregnable walls of the royal compound of Agra were built in XVI century by the Mughal emperor Akbar who transferred the capital of his realm to Agra.

Lahore Fort started life as a defensive wall on the banks of River Ravi by the earliest settlers who founded Lahore. It was attacked, damaged, demolished, and rebuilt into various structures several times over, until it acquired its present general form under Emperor Akbar in 1566. Succeeding emperors, Sikh conquerors, and British colonists used the fort as the seat of their governance, and added their architectural influences to the citadel to give it its present configuration.
Ornate carvings directly on the stone pillars evidence the meticulous details and refinements that Mughal architects are famous for.
