De Wallen or De Walletjes is the largest and best known red-light district in Amsterdam and a maallen consists of a network of alleys containing approximately three hundred tiny one-room cabins rented by prostitutes who offer their sexual services from behind a window or glass door, typically illuminated with red lights. The area also has a number of sex shops, sex theatres, peep shows, a sex museum, a cannabis museum, and a number of coffee shops that sell marijuana. 26 coffeeshops in the De Wallen area will have to close their doors between 1 September 2012 and 31 August 2015. As part of new restrictions which came into force in 2012, a Dutch judge ruled tourists can now legally be banned from entering cannabis cafes.
De Wallen, together with the prostitution areas Singelgebied and Ruysdaelkade, form the Rosse Buurt (red light areas) of Amsterdam.

Bought some Dutch Iris at Trader Joes earlier this week and played around today photographing them. Stretching my comfort zone of "everything must be in focus" to experiment with shallow DOF. I have always admired Cindy's ( @impromptuphotography on Instagram ) ethereal soft flower images so I was going for that look. I'm pleased with result. But also took some stopped down and a series of images that I can focus stack... cuz, ya know, old habits are hard to break.

Farnworth Journal 17th February 1900
A Family Quarrel at Farnworth.
James and Thomas Holland were charged at the instance of their father, James Holland, foreman joiner, of 18 Charles St , Farnworth, with assaulting him on the 5th inst.
According to the evidence given by the complainant it appeared that the two defendants visited his house 11.30 on the day in question and, after pulling him out of bed, kicked and struck him about the body after which they suggested throwing him downstairs. As one of them seized him to do so he bit his fingers. On getting free he ran downstairs.
The bother, he explained, had arisen through his wife rum drinking while he was at work and when he spoke to her about it the lads rose against him.
The elder son did not live at home and the younger had been away but returned at the beginning of the winter destitute and out of work
He had spent £100 trying to make his home comfortable.
His mother had sent for him, James Holland junior said, at 11 o’clock, and when he got to the house he found her and four children locked out. They, the defendants, got through the kitchen window and proceeded to their father’s room where they found him lying on the bed dressed. He was not drunk but “nowt”.
Witness asked him what he meant by locking the family out. Whereupon he asked him if he wanted to fight and ran at him, but with the assistance of his brother, he succeeded in placing him on the bed, but not before he had bitten two of his fingers nearly off. In self- defence he struck him and gave him a black eye. It was only the Friday before Christmas that the complainant had chased the family out with a loaded revolver.
Thomas Holland corroborated this statement and said his father came home about 10.10 and as soon as he entered he challenged his mother to fight. He afterwards asked the witness if he wanted to fight and on that the witness struck him in self- defence.
Mrs Ellen Holland said that she and the complainant had been married for 28 years and had had eleven children. Though complainant came home at 10 o’clock he had finished work at 5 o’clock. She corroborated the statement made by last witness and said he struck her and knocked her against the piano.
In reply to a question by the complainant she denied ever being found drunk.
Inspector Wilson spoke to sending constables to the complainant’s house on several occasions and at one time the sons had him on the floor and showed them a revolver, which they had taken from him. He had the reputation of a drunkard and a gambler.
The Magistrate in dismissing the case warned the complainant that if he did not alter he would be placed where his sons had been.
Bolton Chronicle 17th February 1900
Thrashed by his sons. Complainant warned.
James Holland junior and Thomas Holland were charged with assaulting their father James Holland.
The complainant stated that his son James Holland was not living at home and the other son had been away up to this winter when his mother brought him home. At about half past eleven on Monday night the 5th inst. his two sons burst into his bedroom and made “general handiwork” of him. They thumped him and kicked him all over the body, blackening one of his eyes. One of them suggested they should throw him downstairs and whilst they were attempting to do this he got hold of James’s fingers between his teeth and stuck into them until the defendant let him, the complainant, go.
The complainant said that the real cause of the bother was when he objected to his wife rum drinking and whenever he reproved her, he was set upon in that way. He had got a good home together and had spent £100 doing so.
James the younger said, his brother sent for him, and when he arrived at the house, he found his mother and four children in the street, although the night was bitter cold. He got through the kitchen window and he and his brother went up-stairs and found his father on the bed fully dressed. On perceiving them he swore and challenged them to fight. He became abusive and they defended themselves. He kicked and swore and used them very badly. He was not drunk but “nowt”. On the Friday before Christmas Day he chased them out of the house with a loaded revolver.
Thomas Holland said that no sooner had he arrived at the house on the day in question than the complainant started. He got hold of Mrs Holland and began to twist her arm and then the defendant struck his father and knocked him down. There was a scuffle and he, Thomas, defended himself.
Mrs Holland corroborated. She denied that her husband had ever seen her drunk.
Inspector Wilson said that he had had to send his constables down to the complainant’s house in consequence of his disturbances and his violence. On one occasion when the constables arrived the two sons had him down and had taken a revolver off him. He had the reputation of a gambler and a drinker.
In answer to the complainant the Inspector said that Holland had been the secretary of the Farnworth Beer-seller’s Association but with no credit to himself.
The Magistrate in dismissing the case warned the complainant to be careful of his future conduct or he would be brought into court.

Farnworth Journal Saturday 23rd February 1901The Missionary and the Drunken Man
James Holland of Farnworth was charged with being drunk and disorderly at Farnworth on the 8th inst.
PC Cuerden spoke to seeing the defendant in a drunken condition shouting and causing a disturbance. He was in a crowd of about 400 persons who were listening to a missionary addressing them. Defendant was told to go home but would not until his friends eventually got him to do so. Another constable corroborated this statement.
Defendant asked to be allowed to call evidence and said he was simply asking the missionary if he could save a drunken wife and was not making any disturbance.
James Russell formerly of the Presbyterian Church Bolton entered the witness box with a Bible in his hand and made a declaration instead of taking the oath. Witness spoke of addressing a crowd of people at Farnworth and said that Holland stepped forward and began to speak to the crowd. There was nothing disorderly about his conduct and the missionary had asked a young lady to take his name and address, when to his great astonishment, two police officers stepped forward and interfered. To his greater astonishment, when he visited Mr Holland, he was told that a summons had been served upon him. Superintendent Leeming here asked if the defendant had had any drink and witness was of the opinion that he had had some drink, but was not, however, drunk. The Magistrates fined defendant £1 including costs.
Bolton Chronicle 21st February 1901
Extraordinary Scene in Court
James Holland of Farnworth who has made several appearances at this court was again before the magistrates on a charge of being drunk and disorderly in Farnworth on the 8th inst.
PC Cuerden deposed to seeing the defendant who was drunk and creating a disturbance. He stood among a crowd of about 400 people who were being addressed by a missionary. The defendant was rather rowdy and he was told to stop, but refused and eventually his friends succeeded in getting him away. PC Reid corroborated.
Defendant said he was simply asking the missionary if he could save a drunken wife.
He was not making a disturbance and he called a witness James Russell who was formerly assistant minister at St Andrews Presbyterian Church Bolton. This gentleman entered the box with a Bible in his hand and when asked to take the oath he refused. He said he had come to speak nothing but the truth by his heavenly Father but he eventually consented to take the oath. On the evening in question he remarked that the Lord had given him wonderful prosperity and had brought a crowd of people round. Whilst speaking, Holland came forward and began to speak to the crowd in a very orderly way, and when he, the witness, asked a young lady to take his name, two policemen stepped forth to his great astonishment and took him away. Mr Superintendent Leeming asked witness if defendant had had any drink and Russell replied that Holland , their brother, had sinned against God and had had some drink, but was not drunk.

For creating a disturbance James Holland of Farnworth was directed to pay costs.
Holland Lake, in the Swan Valley and Flathead National Forest, is a 400-acre beauty spot near the tiny town of Condon, Montana. It’s valued for recreation like trail riding, hiking, camping, fishing, canoeing, and swimming. It’s also known for its pretty waterfall, though at the time I wasn’t able to make the short hike to view it.
The rustic Holland Lake Lodge, with its quaint atmosphere and great dining, has been much in the news lately. A couple of years ago, the privately-owned lodge went under contract with the billion dollar Utah corporation, POWDR. POWDR’s application to buy, renovate, and expand the lodge was expedited and approved by the Forest Service without due process, and in the absence of public input. That agreement had to be taken off the table once the public caught on and raised holy hell. The property went back on the market and a new contract with a private equity investor has recently been signed. The new owner’s application indicates his intention to restore and update the property and return it to its purpose for public use, but without the environmental damage of expansion. The new contract is under review by the Forest Service, with (albeit irregular) meetings for public input. However, after egregious mismanagement and total lack of transparency by the Forest Service with the first application, everything is apparently going by the books this time, and stands a reasonable chance of approval and public acceptance.
I'm sadly skeptical that rooms there will be affordable after all is said and done. Even before all this started rooms were over $300/night, though three meals were included, important in that area where the next closest eatery is miles away. Here’s hoping, after investing a few million into bringing the facilities up to code (and comfort standards), the new owner will at least break even and the facility will have a secure, maybe even profitable, future.
I was not able to photograph the lodge because it was cordoned off due to its unsafe condition and uncertain status. It's probably best photographed from the water, and I didn't have a water craft, in any case.
