What amazing light I saw this evening as we finished up work for the day and off I went to walk about and take in the sights. Couple of Dutch Botters sitting in the harbor caught my eye. One of those images that I can't decide between B&W or Color, happening a bit more lately.

*Muiden Castle is a castle in the Netherlands, located at the mouth of the Vecht river, some 15 kilometers southeast of Amsterdam, in Muiden, where it flows into what used to be the Zuiderzee. It is one of the better known castles in the Netherlands and featured in many television shows set in the Middle Ages.
The history of Muiden Castle begins with Count Floris V who built a stone castle at the mouth of the river in 1280, when he gained command over an area that used to be part of the See of Utrecht. The Vecht river was the trade route to Utrecht, one of the most important trade towns of that age. The castle was used to enforce a toll on the traders. It is a relatively small castle, measuring 32 by 35 metres with brick walls well over 1.5 metres thick. A large moat surrounded the castle.
Willemsoord is a large former dockyard of the Royal Netherlands Navy in Den Helder. It is now a maritime museum, housing the Dutch Navy Museum and the Nationaal Reddingmuseum Dorus Rijkers. In 2009 the replica of the Dutch East India Company ship Prins Willem which was located in a dock (accesible to the public) burned down.

She is a queen who defends her throne,
In the midst of chaos and confusion.
She rules her court with pride and power,
And watches over every scrap and clutter.
Some may find her unfamiliar or alienating,
But those who see her strutting through her courtyard,
Quickly realise her true glamour and charisma,
And that she is a queen, a queen of trash, like no other.
Back from the cottage gentrification project ready for the season and our isolation oasis I hope that you enjoy the continuation of my re-edit visit to the Netherlands from fall 2017 to continue on unabated until arriving in Amsterdam for my final post in the series.
Thanks for all the supportive comments on this Dutch Masters process development and those that just like to have something trying to be a little distracting in their feed other than today’s current events,
my goal is to hopefully trigger a memory or the want of a memory of someplace you would like to be.
As mentioned before my short break, Delft is where we will pick up my reverse chronological order Dutch revisit, captured here is what I thought to be Vermeer’s corner but now upon some reflection realize it is not his view but it is a view of Delft just the same and not a bad one.
Delft is an easy day trip from almost any location in the Netherlands making it an excellent day trip, the core is easily walkable, chock full of historic treasures, wonderful shops, warm cafes and beautiful views and should not be missed.
I took this on Sept 17th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 58mm 1/40s, f/16 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

De Oosterpoort is de enig overgebleven stadspoort van Hoorn, aan de Draafsingel rondom de binnenstad.
De toren werd in 1578 gebouwd door Joost Jansz. Bilhamer en in 1601 voorzien van een huisje erbovenop. De poort ligt aan de, in 1577 gegraven, voormalige verdedigingsgracht "Draafsingel" (meer specifiek het stuk genaamd "Oosterpoortsgracht"). De houten brug die naar de poort leidde werd in 1763 vervangen door de huidige gemetselde boogbrug met smeedijzeren hekken.
De poort verving de eerste Oosterpoort, die op kaarten uit 1426 en 1615 (van Velius) aanwezig is, en ongeveer 500 meter dichter bij de binnenstad stond, en in 1818 werd afgebroken. Deze poort is afgebeeld op de gevel van het middelste van de drie Bossuhuizen.
Tot in de jaren 50 van de vorige eeuw was het, voor alle verkeer van en naar Enkhuizen, de enige toegang aan de oostkant van de stad. Na de aanleg van de Willemsweg in 1957 is de poort afgesloten voor motorvoertuigen.
Andere poorten in Hoorn waren onder andere de Westerpoort en Koepoort. Ook de Waterpoortbrug kan gezien worden als voormalige stadspoort, de brug fungeerde namelijk tevens als waterpoort.

On a clear and sunny morning the fog was there in 4 minutes. This is the look when it came ,the sun still shining on me.
This church was built in 1605. It was one of the first churches in the Netherlands built by the protestants. In 1647 the church was expanded into the present cruciform church. It is the only church on the island of Vlieland.
The organ is from around 1780 and the builder of the organ is unknown.

Building A of Radio Kootwijk was built in the years 1918-1923 in Art Deco style. Dutch architect Julius Maria Luthmann designed it and it was built with Reinforced concrete, which was revolutionary at that time.
It was built as a building of a shortwave radio transmitter. The transmitter played an important role in the 20th century as a communication facility between the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies.
This building was known as 'Building A'. Later, it got nicknames like 'The Cathedral' (it looks a bit like the church of Veere, in the Netherlands) or sometimes 'The Sphynx'.
Due to the development of new technologies like Communications satellites, Radio Kootwijk lost its position as main overseas wireless connection point of the Netherlands. In 1980, the last transmission mast was blown up.
In 2004 the park lost its last transmitter functions.
Now, it is officially appointed as a monument. It is used as venue and scenery for several cultural events and productions, including the American film Mindhunters in 2004.
