A colorful sunset in the colors of the flag of the Kingdom of Thailand.
Wikipedia: The flag of the Kingdom of Thailand shows five horizontal stripes in the colors red, white, blue, white and red, with the central blue stripe being twice as wide as each of the other four. The design was adopted on 28 September 1917, according to the royal decree issued by Rama VI. Since 2016, that day is a national day of importance in Thailand celebrating the flag.
The colors are said to stand for nation-religion-king, an unofficial motto of Thailand, red for the land and people, white for religions and blue for the monarchy, the last having been the auspicious color of Rama VI. As the king declared war on Germany that July, some note the flag now bore the same colors as those of the UK, France, Russia and the United States.
Nieuw-Herlaer Castle is on the east bank of the Dommel, about a hundred meters from the hamlet Halder, to which it is connected by a bridge. Nieuw-Herlaer Castle was a loan from the Lordship Herlaer, which centered on Oud Herlaer Castle. Oud Herlaer Castle is only about one kilometer to the north and is very close to Maurick Castle in Vught. Haanwijk manor is only 400 meters to the north. Haanwijk Manor is not a true castle, but it has the medieval tower 't Vaantje on the estate grounds. The castle density in the area seems remarkable.
In the past the proximity between Nieuw-Herlaar Castle and Oud Herlaer Castle was more logical than it now seems to be. Nieuw-Herlaer was on the west bank of the Dommel, and Oud Herlaer on the east bank. That is, the Dommel flowed just north of Nieuw-Herlaar Castle. Thus from a military perspective, Nieuw-Herlaar Castle was close to Maurick Castle in Vught, also on the west bank of the Dommel. The Esschestroom was between these castles, which belonged to opposing parties when they were founded.
A drawing from 1801 is very instructive to understand the location of Nieuw-Herlaar Castle on the Dommel. It also makes old pictures of the castle understandable. The map easily compares to a modern map. The very small wings (cf. the 2010 photograph) of the current mansion, which protrude to the south/southeast help to understand it.

31 Minutes to go till the Malayan independence day (Hari Merdeka) is celebrated in Kuala Lumpur.
It has been a while since that day but I can honestly tell you I haven’t been much happier in my life than on this day. For me as a german it is sometimes a bit hard to be proud of my country because of what has happened in the past.
So as I attended the Hari Merdeka festival in Kuala Lumpur I saw all these people being proud of having their own country, free’d of a large empire under which they have lived for quite a while. It was more than overwhelming to see how all these people identify with their country and I nearly cried as all of them sang the national anthem in one voice.
Furthermore I want to give you a small thought on an interesting topic. Whilst you read have a listen to my favourit song. It is from the band: IMAGINE DRAGONS:
For me as a western boy who lives a high standard of life and is able to travel the world , meet people and see places it is more than important to appreciate it. Actually the reason why “we” are rich is that there are some people in the world who have nearly nothing. When I spoke to people in Asia and told them where I travel and what I do they told me it is their dream to go abroad once. As these people earn approximately 50 US$ a month they would need two years to save for a flight to Europe or America without having bought something to live. As you can imagine it is impossible for over a billion Asians to ever visit “us”. So if you ever have the chance to give something back, do it and remember the jeans or the shirt you wear would be at least five times more expensive if it would have been produced by you and not an asian dude!.
Just a little thought in a laaaarge world.
So far thanks guys for your nice words, and friendship. I appreciate it and am thankful that with your like, comment or whatever I am able to do what I really love!
Love,
Ben
