The color of fall leaves.
Plants make their own food. They take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. They turn water and carbon dioxide into food and oxygen. Oxygen is a gas in the air that we need to breathe.
Plants make their food using sunlight and something called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll gives leaves their green color.
Winter days are short and dry. Many plants stop making food in the fall. The chlorophyll goes away. Then we can see orange and yellow colors. These colors were in the leaves all summer, but the green covered them up.
Some leaves turn red. This color is made in the fall, from food trapped in the leaves.
Brown colors are also made in the fall. They come from wastes left in the leaves.

A low sun picks out and enhances the pastoral green of this peaceful empty area of the Northern Lakes. I often wonder of the existance of the inhabitants of the small houses at often appear in my images - maybe the intrigue is what draws me to them.
More or less opposite Gorinchem on the other side of the river lies Woudrichem, a beautiful little fortified town. The historical town harbour has become the home of traditional, permanently inhabited ships such as tjalks, clippers and barges. At least three harbours, along with the Visserij- en Cultuurhistorisch museum (fishing and culture museum) bear witness to the age old connection with the river and salmon fishery.
The fortified town of Woudrichem was once a refuge for the countess of Zeeland, Holland and Henegouwen, Jacoba van Beieren (1401-1436). She owned a castle and a house in Woudrichem. Generally known as the Jacoba van Beierenhuis (house of Jacoba van Beieren), the building is situated at Molenstraat number 2. This is the oldest stone house in the stronghold. Those who wish to follow in her footsteps won’t have it easy. Jacoba was a pugnacious woman who fought with her uncle Jan van Beieren and others over land ownership. On 13th February 1419 she signed a peace treaty with her uncle called 'De Plechtige Zoen van Woudrichem' (solemn reconciliation of Woudrichem).
Woudrichem, or Woerkum, is easy to explore on one’s own. Visitors are surprised by the narrow lanes, vast river views and historical buildings. Prefer to get out of town on a walking route? The Stadswandeling Woudrichem (walking tour of Woudrichem) can be obtained from the VVV (tourist office) in the centre of the fort. Or if you’d like to get out with a group, the Stadgidsengilde (town guides’ guild) is at the ready to take businesses, groups of friends or families along for a walk in the footsteps of Jacoba van Beieren.

Due to the fact that the wind comes almost from West, the waves become the same direction, from W to E, and wash the sand away
To stop/make less this washout effect, to break the stronght of the waves - that's the reason of this pillars. In the northern part of Zeeland there are beaches , many km long, and there are this pillars, always two lines together, repeating so about 500m. Depending from tide/low tide you can see 2,0m or nothing from them.
Westkapelle (51°32′N, 3°26′E) is a village in the municipality of Veere on the island Walcheren, in the province Zeeland of the Netherlands. On 1 January 2005, it had a population of 2,671. Westkapelle is on the westernmost tip of Walcheren and is surrounded by the sea on three sides.
Westkapelle is mainly known because of its lighthouse, standing prominently at the entrance to the village. This tower is the remains of a church that burned down in the 18th century. In the 19th century, a light was added to the top so that it could serve as a lighthouse.
Westkapelle was a separate municipality from 1816 until 1997, when it was merged with Veere.

The town of Veere is in Zeeland, near Middelburg on the - former - island of Walcheren. It has a small picturesque harbour which once gave direct access the the North Sea, with sheltered waterways for vessels to proceed north-east to Dordrecht (near Rotterdam) on the R. Maas or south-east to Antwerp on the R. Schelde. Old fortifications have decided its lay-out, dominated by the huge bulk of the Church of Our Lady (or 'Grote Kerk'), which once provided barrack-space for Napoleon's troops, and graced by the elegant spire of its late-Gothic Town Hall.
Heemstede castle, near utrecht (the netherlands).
originally built in 1645, in a design that looks back to the medieval castle keeps and towerhouses.
the current structure is much restored after a devastating fire gutted the place in 1987.
Heemstede Castle is not a real medieval castle. It was built in 1645 as a manor in Dutch Classistic style by Hendrick de Pieck. Its medieval predecessor, also called Heemstede Castle, was situated some 500 meters to the west / south west, in what is now the Vuilcopse Polder.
When Heemstede Castle was built everything was focused on comfort and luxury and it became one of the most famous estates in the province of Utrecht. It is characterized by its severe symmetrical exterior. The four corner towers gave the castle a feudal appearance and the castle can be seen as a 17th century variant of a medieval tower house.
After Hendrick de Pieck several other owners followed. Between 1680 and 1695 Heemstede Castle was owned by Diederick van Veldhuysen who embellished the interior and layed out the large baroque gardens. In 1720 the castle again changed hands. Its new owner however destroyed the gardens; most of the trees were cut down and the lead of the fountains was sold.
In 1919 L.J. Heijmeijer, coming from an Amsterdam family of corn merchants, bought the dilapidated castle which had been standing empty for several years. He restored the castle and the gardens and used it as a summer residence. During World War II the castle was inhabited by friars from Zeist and after 1968 the castle stood empty again. In 1972 the castle was sold by the Heijmeijer family and under the new owner restorations were carried out in 1974. On January 10th, 1987 however the castle was destroyed by a large fire.
In 1999 the castle was bought by a building company who rebuilt the castle. This restoration was finished in 2002. The castle is now used as an office for a real estate company and there is a restaurant with 1 Michelin Star in the baseme
Just outside of Drumheller there's an old abandonded coal mine that has been set up as a historical site. There's not much there to see, some old equpiment that's been left as "attractions" and a bit of the concrete tipple. To be honest I'm not sure why it's even there other than someone didn't want to pay to remove the junk.
