Maar die reed 40 minuten voor tijd zodat ik die op het nippertje kon vangen.
In Schulen kon ik de DBC Mercedes trein nog vangen!

Van Beringen weer richting Schulen om de sproeitrein nogmaals te vangen!
Maar die reed ze vroeg dat we die gemist hebben!
Even later kreeg ik bericht dat Maarten de DBC Schroottrein met ECR Traxx was tegengekomen in Remersdaal.
Dan werd weer koers gezet naar Hasselt om deze schroottrein daar te vangen.
Ik kon deze schroottrein nog aan de oprit van het viaduct in Hasselt fotograferen,kant Diepenbeek.
Langs dit viaduct hebben ze pas gekapt en dat wou ik eens uitproberen met de ladder!
Neen ik heb niet scheef gefotografeerd,dit is gezichtsbedrog.
De trein gaat hier al omhoog en de grond naar onder.
Als slot van de speciale fotodag heb ik deze trein nog in Genk-Goederen gefotografeerd!
Looks like we’re in a hotel room but this is actually the bed in our camper van! Everybody is still getting used to it, but so far, we like!
As vivid the city Van is, so quiet is the surrounding land.
We'll bring a visit to the south-eastern part of the country, for not so many years ago a completely no-go area. Even today you get stopped by a military checkpoint on the way to Yüksekova and Hakkiri suspiciously asking you about your motives and your goal. Why are you visiting this area, where do you plan to stay? Of course they want to check your car to be sure you don't smuggle weapons or anything else.
Welcome to this beautiful part of the country near the Iranian and Iraqi borders, surrounded by the highest mountains (nearly all over 4,000m), impressive castles and endless skies in what looks like a true no man's land, except for the peregrinating nomads.

This is my fifth entry to the Lego Ideas vintage car contest. It is based on a 1960's American forward-control van platform. If you are wondering why a pizza delivery van has a bunch of antennae and radar dish on top, its because this van holds a surprise inside, a police surveillance team!!!

Van Kalesi (Van Castle, Rock of Van, Van Fortress).
The shocking first sight that greets antiquity-loving visitors when they get out of the dolmuÅŸ to go and explore Van's great Urartian castle is a glistening wall of white stone where part of the castle has just been completely rebuilt.
Fortunately it’s a half-km walk from the dolmuş stop to the entrance gate which is long enough for the fury and frustration to have abated somewhat.
What’s more the rebuilding has been restricted to one end of the castle so that if you could only manage to walk half that distance in a blindfold you would be able to fool yourself that nothing so awful had happened after all.
Van Kalesi is mostly a relic of the days when what is now Van was Tushpa, the capital of the Urartian kingdom that lasted from the 13th to the 7th century BC. The kingdom was famous for its wonderful metalwork, the best examples of which are now on display faraway in the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations in Ankara, much to the disgust of some locals.
The Urartians wrote in a form of cuneiform that they may have learnt from the Assyrians; there are fine examples of it on the sloping faces of the Rock of Van although you need to have a pretty good head for heights to inspect most of them. Excavations in 2012 apparently uncovered a Urartian palace within the castle.
Wandering around Van Kalesi up and down the little paths and gullies is a very enjoyable experience, rather like an adventure playground, and is especially lovely at sunset. As you make your way back to the lower citadel for the climb down to Lake Van, the view over towards the mountains growing pink across the lake is an unforgettable sight. You also have an impressive view over the lake form the citadel.

At one time the Police and Ambulance service ran Freight-Rover and LDV vans and coachbuilt chassis cabs with Rover V8 power. This "restored" example was seen participating in the annual "Beach Hop" event at various venues around the eastern Coromandel.
Voormalige brievenbus in Hippolytushoef aan de muur van het voormalige postkantoor. Toen dat nog in gebruik was hing hier een moderne brievenbus, de schroefgaten daarvan zijn nog te zien.

A breed of cat found in the area around Lake Van, which is 1600m above sea level. They usually have different coloured eyes, and when taken to an area of lower altitude, they develop health problems.

Het zuiden van het land is voor mij niet op de fiets te doen. (wat niet kan...) Maar soms was ik daar wel eens, zoals in een vakantieperiode in juli 2002.
Af en toe was er even de gelegenheid wat te doen aan de hobby. Op 7 juli 2002 was het even een uurtje hangen bij Maasbracht waar o.a. deze 1732 met Auto Slaaptrein 1335 langs kwam richting Maastricht en verder.
