SYMBOLIC OF THE LILY OF THE VALLEY
This flower symbolizes absolute purity, freshness, sincerity and discretion. But most importantly, she symbolizes happiness. This beautiful meaning immediately makes it very important to give a bunch of lilies of the valley to someone you love on May 1.
Spent 4 days at Dalen Villmarksenter in Telemark, Norway. Over a 4 day period i spent almost 50 hours photographing and waiting for the perfect moment. So after nearly 40 hours waiting we had 15-20 seconds of fighting between these two golden eagles. Then all the hours spent waiting was well worth it. Feel free to drop by my Facebook page for more pictures. www.facebook.com/GauteFroysteinPhotography

Een Frans gebruik is om op 1 mei elkaar een bosje Lelietjes-van-Dalen te geven. Het staat symbool voor liefde geluk en vriendschap. Wat we in deze tijd heel goed kunnen gebruiken. Vandaag voor alle volgers en belangstellenden dit bloemetje.
On May 1, a French tradition to give each other a bunch of lily of the Valley for love happiness and friendship. Important for everybody more than ever nowadays. Today for all followers and people I wish you friendship, love, hope and happiness with this beautiful flower.
Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.
The hotel, designed by architect Haldor Larsen Børve, was built in the style of a Swiss chalet with elements of National Romanticism and Dragestil. Børve was a German-trained architect well versed in Germanic and Scandinavian tradition, and the result is a distinctive blend of architectural styles in the building's complex carpentry work, dotted with elaborate eaves, cornices, turrets, and spires, and traditional Norse motifs such as dragon heads protruding from its gables.
The expansive building, covering almost 4,500 m2 (48,000 sq ft), is often described as having 2+1⁄2 stories, since the building has two floors except for a taller area in the center and two lofts on either end. The building has a completely symmetrical floor plan, including the two ornate towers in the center and the two wings that extend out from the main lobby. The center of the building is dominated by a grand hall which spans all three floors. The hotel's facade, lounges, dining room, and main lobby are almost identical to how they looked upon the building's completion in 1894, including the original stained glass in the lobby's skylight, which was imported from Berlin. The building's 42 hotel rooms are also very similar to their 1894 counterparts, but the bathrooms were renovated in 2007 to meet modern sanitation standards. The hotel is surrounded by nearly 30 decares (30,000 m2) of manicured gardens that extend eastwards toward Bandak lake.

Lelietje-van-dalen
De bloemen en wortels worden door de farmaceutische industrie verwerkt, omdat deze de hartwerking kunnen beïnvloeden. In oude geschriften uit de 16e eeuw is te lezen dat deze kennis toen al bekend was. Ook werden de gedroogde bloemen toegevoegd aan snuiftabak.
In Frankrijk en België is het gebruikelijk dat kinderen op 1 mei lelietjes-van-dalen kopen voor hun moeder en oma.
Uit de bloemen kan geen etherische olie worden gewonnen. Omdat de geur zeer populair is in de parfumerie en de cosmetica, wordt deze met behulp van geurstoffen als hydroxycitronellal samengesteld.
Het lelietje-van-dalen is de nationale bloem van Finland.
Alle delen van het meiklokje zijn giftig door de aanwezigheid van verschillende hartglycosiden en saponinen.
De meest voorkomende symptomen na inname zijn braken, diarree en buikpijn, waarvoor de saponinen verantwoordelijk zijn.

Lily of the valley
The flowers and roots are processed by the pharmaceutical industry, as they can affect heart function. In old writings from the 16th century it can be read that this knowledge was already known at that time. The dried flowers were also added to snuff.
In France and Belgium, it is customary for children to buy lilies of the valley for their mother and grandmother on May 1.
No essential oil can be extracted from the flowers. Because the fragrance is very popular in perfumery and cosmetics, it is composed using fragrances such as hydroxycitronellal.
The lily of the valley is Finland's national flower.
All parts of the lily of the valley are poisonous due to the presence of various cardiac glycosides and saponins.
The most common symptoms after ingestion are vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain, for which the saponins are responsible.
Zwei Arriva Triebwagen fuhren am 7. Juli 2021 als RB 8028 von Emmen nach Zwolle. Im Bild hat der Zug gerade Dalen verlassen, in wenige Minuten wird in Coevorden gehalten.
Op 7. Juli 2021 kon ik vanuit de lucht twee Arriva treinstellen als trein 8028 (Emmen - Zwolle) te Dalen fotograferen. In de achtergrond is nog de molen "de Bente" te zien...
Regional train 8028 from Emmen to Zwolle was shot from high up in the air on July 7th 2021 near Dalen in the north of the Netherlands...
The idea for a hotel in Dalen came with the expansion of the Telemark Canal in 1892. Through a series of staircase locks, the canal from Skien to Norsjø was extended to reach Bandak, with the small town of Dalen as its new endpoint. The canal was referred to as the "eighth wonder" upon its completion, and the waterway saw heavy traffic from ferries bringing passengers from the east in Oslo and Grenland travelling towards destinations in central and western Norway.
The initiative to build a luxury hotel in Dalen was taken by Skien businessman Hans Larsen along with his two associates, merchants Lars Rød and Anton Hansen from Skien and Porsgrunn respectively. The men commissioned local Porsgrunn architect Haldor Larsen Børve to design the hotel. Børve, originally from Ullensvang, was a highly trained architect, having studied at universities in Trondheim and later Hannover in Germany. After its opening in 1894, the hotel drew royal guests from all over Europe, playing host to the likes of King Oscar II of Sweden, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, King Leopold II of Belgium, King Haakon VII of Norway and his family, and several members of the British aristocracy.
During the German occupation of Norway in World War II, Dalen Hotel was used as a resort for German officers. Most of the building's interior was stripped out and sold for parts, and the building fell into disrepair due to lack of proper maintenance. After the war, the building was bought by singer and evangelist Aage Samuelsen with the intent of restoring the hotel to its former glory. Though Samuelsen failed to raise the necessary funds to renovate the building, he gave the hotel significant press exposure, and towards the end of the 1980s restoration efforts began in earnest. The hotel was reopened once the remodelling finished in 1992. In 2000, the hotel was honored with the Europa Nostra award for outstanding conservation.
Ziemlich blöd fand ich es am 7. Juli 2021. Laut Wettervorhersage hätte es in Dalen im Norden der Niederlande Sonnenschein pur geben müssen... nur, wie man sieht, war das definitiv nicht der Fall.
Ich hatte aber noch das Glück, dass die Sonne kurz raus kam, als Regionalbahn 8013 von Zwolle nach Emmen vorbei kam, was dann wieder für eine großartige Stimmung sorgte (was ich natürlich nicht blöd fand :-) )
Dat was niet zo gepland op 7 juli 2021. Volgens de weersverwachting had ik bij Dalen een volledig blauwe hemel moeten hebben met meerdere uren zon. De waarheid was echter een andere en toen ik te Dalen op trein 8013 naar Emmen wachtte, had ik nog het geluk, dat de zon toch nog even aanwezig was :-)
Things didn't quite work out as planned on July 7th 2021. I was expecting blue skies and nothing but sunshine near Dalen in the north of the Netherlands but unfortunately this was not the case. The day started out fine but after less than an hour clouds started to ruin my day. Luckily Murphy was on his best behaviour when regional train 8013 - running from Zwolle to Emmen - came by.. After that the sun said goodbye for the next couple of hours and I went home again...

Inspired by stave churches and Vikings, this beautiful, dragon style hotel, was opened in 1894.
Built in Dalen (The Valley), at the far end of the Telemark Canal and with it`s stunning suroundings and nature, the hotel became widely known in Europe and had many visitors from the European aristocracy. King Oscar II, emperor Wilhelm of Germany and king Leopold II of Belgium was some of them.
According to rumors, in one of the rooms there will be a ghost of a woman who lost her newborn child there.

Dalen Hotel
The Dalen Hotel is a fairytale hotel, built in sumptuous romantic style with dragon heads, turrets and spires, balconies, projections and cornices.
The hotel has retained its grandeur and ‘soul’ and is virtually the same as when the original timber “palace” was opened in 1894, in the days when royalty and the European aristocracy frequented the town.
Anno 1894.
Een sprookjeshotel, gebouwd in een overdadige, romantische stijl met drakenkoppen, torentjes en galerijen. Na een bijna 10 jaar durende restauratie heeft dit hotel sinds 1994 zijn oorspronkelijke schoonheid terug.
Het hotel ligt in een fantastisch park dat eindigt bij het Bandakmeer.
