Jump - Van Halen
A image from the past , from a super shoot of a group of friends
Halen, Belgium.
On August 12, 1914, the very last European battle with cavalry took place in this landscape. It became clear that attacks with lances and sabres were no match for gunfire. 320 soldiers died in battle, but also more than 400 horses were killed.
You might be mourning the death of Eddie Van Halen today (October 6th) by listening to one of his many albums, and you may not know the story behind one of his most personal songs. It turns out that the acoustic guitar solo "316" from the 1991 Van Halen album is more than just a pretty song. It's all about the love of a father for his son (via Van Halen News Desk).

I remember that in 1984, I was 11 years old, my parents bought me brother and me a couple of cassettes, it was 1984 by Van Halen and Stay Hungry by Twisted Sister. We were blown away immediately by the electric guitars, mainly from Eddie Van Halen.
In 1992-93, We had the chance to see them live in concert when they played live in Mexico City for their tour for their For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge album. One of the best shows I've ever seen.
Here is my personal rendition to one of the best rock guitar-players ever.

The Belgian municipality of Halen is a historical site where many young Belgian and German soldiers died far too early during the so-called 'Battle of the Silver Helmets' (12 August 1914). On that day, a fierce battle broke out between German soldiers on horseback and the Belgian army. The Germans had to retreat in defeat. The battlefield was littered with hundreds of dead horses and the helmets of the German cavalrymen. The Battle of the Silver Helmets is the only battle the Belgians will win in World War I on their own. This German defeat showed that the cavalry charge as a strategy was totally outdated.
The memorial park in Halen wants to be a lasting symbol that commemorates the First World War. Large concrete helmets neatly arranged in four rows next to each other in a green expanse.
Young and old went to work together. They creatively depicted a war story on each helmet and gave the helmets a message. Each helmet symbolises a municipality in Limburg.
The helmets are placed in a waiting basin. When it rains heavily, this basin collects the excess water from the IJzerenbeek. In case of heavy rainfall, the helmets may therefore be partly flooded. In the following years, the creations on the helmets will fade away. Nature will definitively incorporate the helmets into the landscape. In this way, the 44 creations will be covered by a uniform green carpet, which will hide the personal stories.

De Belgische gemeente Halen is een historische locatie waar veel Belgische en Duitse jonge soldaten veel te vroeg de dood vonden tijdens de zogenaamde ‘Slag der Zilveren Helmen’ (12 augustus 1914). Op die dag barste er een hevig gevecht los tussen Duitse soldaten te paard en het Belgisch leger. De Duitsers moesten zich verslagen terugtrekken. Het slagveld lag bezaaid met honderden dode paarden en met de helmen van de Duitse cavaleristen. De Slag der Zilveren Helmen is de enige slag die de Belgen in de Eerste Wereldoorlog op eigen kracht zullen winnen. Deze Duitse nederlaag toonde aan dat de cavaleriecharge als strategie totaal achterhaald was.
Het herinneringspark in Halen wil een blijvend symbool vormen dat de Eerste Wereldoorlog herdenkt. Grote betonnen helmen die op vier rijen netjes naast elkaar staan in een groen uitgestrekt landschap.
Jong en oud gingen samen aan de slag. Ze verbeeldden creatief een oorlogsverhaal op iedere helm en gaven de helmen een boodschap mee. Elke helm staat symbool voor een Limburgse gemeente.
De helmen staan opgesteld in een wachtbekken. Dat vangt bij zware regenval het overtollige water van de IJzerenbeek op. Bij hevige regen kan het dus zijn dat de helmen deels onder water komen te staan. De volgende jaren zullen de creaties op de helmen vervagen. De natuur neemt de helmen definitief op in het landschap. De 44 creaties worden zo bedekt met een uniform groentapijt, dat de persoonlijke verhalen verbergt.
Richting Flandersbach om een lading kalk op te halen. Persoonlijk vind ik dit de mooiste kalkwagens.
The Belgian Military Cemetery of Halen.
This cemetery contains 181 Belgian graves from the First World War. The majority of the soldiers (109) fell during the Battle of the Silver Helmets on 12 August 1914 and 31 graves belong to unidentified soldiers.

Drie weken geleden om 9 uur s'morgens .
Three weeks ago at 9 in the morning .
Sorry heel weinig tijd voor commentaren .
Sorry very little time for comments .
Vervolgens werd snel even langs huis gereden om werkkleding op te halen, om vervolgens weer even naar Driehuis te rijden. RFO had inmiddels kopgemaakt en zou niet veel later naar Amsterdam vertrekken. Als trein 63191 komt het geheel hier voorbij het Groene Laantje gereden, alwaar de nog net niet mooi staande zon verwoede pogingen doet om door het wolkendek heen te prikken.

"Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!"
-- Bob Marley
HDR processed shot from the long backdoor entry driveway (used to be the main one) at Saint-John's Monastery (Sint-Jansberg klooster) in Zelem Halen, Belgium.
I personally liked the almost invisible road uphill's vanishing point which is in fact the final turn to the right and towards the monastery backyard.

Tribute to a music legend
January 26, 1955 - October 6, 2020
Van Halen was born in Amsterdam, but the family emigrated to California. Eddie grew up in Pasadena, a suburb of Los Angeles. Together with his brother Alex, he founded the band "Van Halen" in 1974 - a kind of family business. Occasionally there are singer David Lee Roth and bassist Michael Anthony. After David Lee Roth left, Sammy Hagar came as singer.
Van Halen was self-taught and could play almost any instrument. He couldn't just read notes. Van Halen is particularly godlike on the electric guitar: Hardly any other musician was able to elicit such tones from the instrument and play it as breathtakingly fast as Eddie.
He is mentioned in the same breath as Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton (Mr. Slowfinger).
In 1996 he got his star on the Sunset Strip Star Walk in Hollywood, Los Angeles
Eddie Van Halen was one of the last great star guitarists in this superlative circus called Rock ... a legend.
Good bye Eddie and R.I.P.
January 26 would have been Eddie Van Halen's 68th birthday. I was fortunate enough to have seen him perform many times in the 1980s and 90s.
Edward Lodewijk Van Halen
Born January 26, 1955 Amsterdam, Netherlands
Died October 6, 2020 Santa Monica, California, USA
Funko POP!
Lit with LED lights, and a Nanlite PavoTube.
This photo was taken by my uncle's cabin in Sweden. It's such a nice, relaxing place far away from stress, traffic and pollution! The water in this lake is like velvet and it's so quiet and nice here!
When I'm not meditating at this lake you'll find me here www.globalmediapr.com
This is a picture of MOLEN DE ADRIAAN, in Haarlem. Built in 1779 and named for it's first owner.
So why the title? Rock music was becoming a little stale by the end of the 1970's. In the early 1980's the band Van Halen changed the scene with their high energy, electrifying sound. The band was called Mammoth but had to change it due to another band having that name. So the surname of brothers Alex, drummer and Eddie, guitarist, replaced it. Eddie was, in my opinion, the Hendrix of this generation.
Long before information was so easily accessible by clicking the keyboard, our information was gained by reading books and journalism. Cross referencing was possible, but time consuming. I once read that van Halen means from Haarlem and that Eddie was born there! Maybe there is a blue plaque on a wall in the town marking the spot! This information has been lodged in my brain for a long time. On preparation for visiting Haarlem, I did some research. It turns out this information is not fact! The brothers moved to America because their Indonesian mother was subject to racism. The boys were born in The Netherlands-probably Amsterdam, maybe Njmagen, but definitely not Haarlem. There is a town in Linburg named Halen and thus the surname was probably related to their ancestors being from there.
Both brothers were classically trained pianists from the age of five, originally Alex took up the guitar and Eddie the drums, but they swapped when it was clear that Alex was the better drummer! Their father was a jazz musician. And a lesson for us all, it is said that Eddie practiced the guitar for up to ten hours a day, in the belief his skill would make him popular with the girls. Alex is said to have practiced little, because he was always out-with the girls!!!!
