Alblasserwaard (NL), maart 2017
De geschiedenis van de Alblasserwaard begint na de laatste ijstijd zo'n 10.000 jaar geleden. Door de wind werden zandduinen opgeworpen die nu nog in het landschap zichtbaar zijn en donken worden genoemd. In het centrum van de Alblasserwaard zijn nog diverse donken aanwezig, bijvoorbeeld De Donk (4,7 meter)
i never got a shot of it with te doors open, but you can see the horrible door gaps that thoes kits give you.

Donk is a beautiful Newfoundland and is one of the last of my autumnal pet portraits for this season.
Beek en Donk is a village in the province Noord Brabant, Netherlands. There are 10028 inhabitants.
The area of nowadays Beek en Donk has been inhabited for a long time. Tools of stone age nomadic people have been found. The first permanent inhabitants come around 700 AD. In the Middle Ages, the basis was made for the current towns. First Beek grew around the Oude Toren, and Heereind. In the 13th century, the role of Heereind was taken over by the expanding Donk. Heereind is noted in a document in 1314, where it was given the same importance as Aarle, Rixtel and Beek.
On Saint Barbara day (December 4) in 1300, duke Jan II of Brabant gave the inhabitants of 'Rikestele, Arle ende Beke' (Rixtel, Aarle and Beek) the right to use common lands around the towns. In the 14th century, Beek en donk got its first church. In 1809, it was demolished, but the tower remains, as the Oude Toren (old tower)
During the reign of Johanna van Brabant, Beek was together with Aarle and Stiphout, was sold to Dirk de Roovere, for 1.700 gulden. In later ages, the area changed owners a few times, until in 1798 the feudal system was abolished, inspired by the French revolution.
During the 80-year war, the town suffered from passing enemy armies. After the war, Beek en Donk remained poor. Only in the late 18th century, when there was more land cultivated, the situation slowly got better. In the 19th century, the town started to develop more. In 1836 the Zuid-Willemsvaart was dug by hand, and in 1880-1881, the steam tram between Den Bosch and Helmond was built, having a stop in Beek en Donk. The tram was broken up later; the canal still remains. There are plans to broaden the canal, so ships up to 1500 tons can use it.
In 1997, Beek en Donk, Lieshout, Aarle-Rixtel and Mariahout formed the municipality Laarbeek, of which the town hall is built in Beek en Donk.
The spoken language is Peellands (an East Brabantian dialect, which is very similar to colloquial Dutch).

The suffixed name element -donk goes back to a geographical concept. A donk is a mound consisting of cover sand that occurs in the low-lying river area and protrudes above the later sediments . As a part of the name, the word is much more common.
In North Brabant, the word or part of the name -donk was especially attached to a large and high sand head or a plateau edge along a stream valley. Donken were a higher and drier place in an often swampy environment, making them attractive as a place of residence for people. They were also used to a lesser extent for agriculture.
Where I am form (midwest USA) a popular car customizing trend is to take a 60's-70's full size sedan, give it a radical suspension lift, and put it on gigantic wheels. These are known as donks or hi-risers. I used to hate these when I first started seeing them but I've grown to like them, despite the fact that the majority of them that I see are unsafe hack jobs.
I started building another lego lowrider and decided to go in the opposite direction, so here we are!
