Historic Village of Shirakawa-gō ( a UNESCO World Heritage Site)

 

Shirakawa-go (Shirakawa Village) is a Japanese mountain settlement in what was once considered a wild and unexplored region. Because of the area’s natural environment, with high mountains and heavy snowfall, interaction with neighboring regions was limited. However, this also created the conditions for the development of unique cultural practices and lifestyles. Now registered as a World Cultural Heritage site.

Goes was founded in the 10th century on the edge of a river: de Korte Gos (the Short Gos). The village grew fast and in the early 12th century it had a market square and a church devoted to Maria. In 1405 Goes received city rights, and in 1417 it was allowed to build walls around the city. The prosperity of the city was based upon the cloth industry and the production of salt. In the 16th century Goes declined. Its connection to the sea got bogged down and in 1544 a large fire destroyed a part of the city.

 

In Autumn 1572, during the course of the Eighty Years' War, Goes, in the Spanish Netherlands, was besieged by Dutch forces with the support of English troops. The siege was relieved in October 1572 by Spanish Tercios. In 1577 the Spanish soldiers who occupied Goes were driven out by Prince Maurits of Nassau. The prince built a defence wall around Goes, which is still partly present. In the centuries thereafter Goes did not play an important role, except as an agricultural centre. In 1868 a railway was constructed through it, but this did not lead to industrialisation. Agriculture remains the most important economic activity.

 

Although The Netherlands were neutral in the First World War, seven bombs hit Goes and Kloetinge, due to an error by a British airplane. A house in Magdalenastreet in Goes was destroyed and one person killed. Goes did not suffer extensive damage during the Second World War, but was under German occupation until 1944.

 

Goes did not experience much population growth until the 1970s and 1980s. Then, the city grew fast because of new districts like Goese Meer, Oostmolenpark, Overzuid and Ouverture being constructed. Goes is now the fourth economic centre in Zeeland.

 

New districts are in preparation, amongst them Goese Schans, Mannee and Aria, where 3,000 new houses are to be built.

The whole country I live in is going Bananas. How can we let children grow up in a world when they are not able to trust the police because they could be shot due to the color of their skin? It isn't fair and it isn't right and EVERY MOLECULE IN YOUR BODY NEEDS TO SAY NO!

 

Say no today. Say no tomorrow. Continue to say no because this child is beautiful. He lives in Paris, France where it is slightly better albeit still a little flawed. Our children deserve to grow up in a world that cherishes them because they truly matter and are worth it. Our children deserve to go a little bananas and not have to constantly worry about their safety.

 

I love this child. I love every child. We are all citizens of the world and we must be kinder, better humans every day.

Anke Bunt: Die Taucherin (2013, Bronze)

Sie ist leicht zu übersehen, die kleine bronzene Taucherin am Rande der vielbefahrenen Wedenkampsbrücke in Elmshorn, die wohl jeden Moment den Sprung in die kleine Krückau machen wird. Ausgestattet mit voller Neopren-Montur inklusive Brille, Flossen und Sauerstoffflaschen, und das mitten in der Stadt, zaubert sie ein kleines Lächeln auf die Lippen derer, die sie entdeckt haben.

 

Anke Bunt: The Diver (2013, bronze)

It is easy to overlook the little bronze diver on the edge of the busy Wedenkamps bridge in Elmshorn, who will probably make the jump into the small Krückau at any moment. Equipped with full neoprene gear including glasses, fins and oxygen bottles, and in the middle of the city, it conjures a small smile on the lips of those who have discovered it.

“The black hole of your devastation

is a wild strange expansive place.

We are really good at coming up

with reasons to not go there.

Go there.

You will find the seeds

that become galaxies of growth.

You will find

what the soul and the spirit and the heart

need to know.”

Not the seaside but I find it hard to resist water unless it is going to spoil a nice drop of you know what.

 

I bumbled off to this reservoir early one morning before Christmas and as luck would have it the conditions played ball.

Right of centre is Roughtor, the second highest point in Cornwall at 1,313 feet in old money and nearby is Brown Willy being the highest at 1,378 feet, if only Roughtor had eaten its cornflakes when it was younger.

 

I will leave you with this thought, what time is it when a clock strikes 13? Time to get a new clock.

 

As the weekend is just around the corner, hope you all have a good one.

Letting Go... Sometimes, it's like releasing a balloon into the vast sky. We cling on, afraid of losing what we know, but in letting it go, we allow it to find its own path. Similarly, when we release people and situations we can no longer control, we grant them the freedom to discover their own destiny. It's an act of self-love and trust in life's natural flow. Though it may hurt at first, in letting go, we allow what truly belongs to us to stay close, while making room for new experiences and connections that enrich our journey.

"Going green........greenage ! '

 

Lines from the movie, "Twister," spoken by Dusty with a level of delight only a storm chaser could muster.

 

This shot caught a severe Spring thunderstorm moving into our neighborhood, and while it didn't produce a tornado it did bathe everything in a lurid, enveloping, unearthly light. Lots of differing meteorological theories as to whether or not such greenage is a good indicator of a tornado developing, but you don't need to be a witch or a weatherman in order to figure out that
