Difícil saberlo.
¡Quién sabe qué buscan!
Allá entre la niebla
se esconden promesas
y cuando tú llegas
no hay nada de ná.
Dicen que vienen,
que traen soluciones,
mas luego la niebla
lo oculta y olvida,
y no queda ni verde
de tanto pisar.
¡Qué tienen las urnas
que todos se vienen
e incluso se avienen
a dar claridad!
La niebla me dice
que allá hay una sombra,
mas nadie me aclara
qué voy a encontrar.
Tal vez, más tiniebla
de aquellos que vienen
o quizás no se van.

Street food scene in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. You would have your coffee in the open (it is plus 4 degrees centigrades) and the van serving it would have to be a nostalgic 1973 Citroen (a precious vehicle and properly secured). As if Brexit did not exist. Fuji X100F.

Paard van Marken ist ein Leuchtturm auf der niederländischen Insel Marken. Er steht auf einer Landspitze im Markermeer. Da das Gebäude aus der Ferne und mit einiger Fantasie wie ein Pferd wirkt, wird es Paard van Marken (deutsch Pferd von Marken) genannt.
Paard van Marken is a lighthouse on the Dutch island of Marken. It stands on a headland in the Markermeer. As the building looks like a horse from a distance and with a bit of imagination, it is called Paard van Marken (English: Horse of Marken).

taken from my van today it was low and close and i could not believe my luck when it stayed hovering as i stopped and started taking shots
One of the many original names for Vietnam. This is a typical street scene in Ho Chi Minh City, pedestrians weaving in and out amongst street vendors, motor bikes & bicycles, the noise, smells, humidity and mayhem, and somehow it all just works. Gotta love it.
I haven’t been to Đại Cồ Việt, yep another old name, since 2016 when a mate & I explored Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand with a backpack.
Flying back to Đại Ngu (yep you guessed it , another name for Vietnam) early tomorrow morning for a couple of weeks. Can’t wait !
Stay well everyone , bon voyage
Thanks for any comments , always greatly appreciated.
A recent American Pickers show was about a long Metro Van like this that was used by Aerosmith for many years in the early days. This one seems to say Standard Dairy Limited in green letters above the windshield. These vans were made from 1938 to 1975.
While we were relaxing in the van, we heard tiny little feet scampering all over the outside of the van. Then this little red squirrel popped up in one of our windows!
Trade was slow today. Soon this van will park up for the winter and the patrons of this fine seaside town in north Devon will have to wait til spring for their delicious award-winning ice creams.
"Last night my cover was blown on the children’s news:
Close your eyes long enough not to fall" van Binsbergen will never be actualized.
She will fade until she is a ghost, the narrowest tyre in the world,
unfindable in the catalogue.
Close your eyes long enough not to fall
in the library
it is a forest of cacti, don’t go back there,
take your beloved’s hand elsewhere
the playground is no place for pleasure.
The desire to change into a book shocks the young viewers
their parents reassure them: don’t worry, it will never happen.
Let my vision be free!
My vision is innocent!
The library is too shallow a grave
you’d go crazy from all the voices you heard there
and the shadows behind the shelves
are the result of trying to live normally for 3,000 years
in the hereafter – don’t go back there.
For everyone the book they deserve:
my friends have become encyclopaedias
and the odd boiling manual
they are undead and hungry but ultimately
just something you can pick up
and put down next to your bed, turn off the light
for a night that serves the day
in which everyone lives and belongs to the world.
I will never become real."

De “Pyramide van Austerlitz” is gelegen op het hoogste punt van de Utrechtse Heuvelrug en is gebouwd in 1804. De piramide werd 36 meter hoog en kreeg daarbovenop een 13 meter hoge obelisk. De bouw duurde 27 dagen.
Generaal Marmont liet de piramide bouwen door het Frans-Bataafse leger, als eerbetoon aan zijn vriend Napoleon Bonaparte. Geïnspireerd door diens veldtocht naar Egypte, koos Marmont voor een piramide met op de top een obelisk. Deze obelisk was van hout en raakte snel in verval. In 1894 werd een nieuwe obelisk gebouwd van steen, maar de pyramide zelf werd nauwelijks hersteld. Napoleons broer Lodewijk Napoleon, destijds koning van Holland, gaf het monument de naam “Pyramide van Austerlitz” naar de veldslag in het huidige Tsjechië.
Tot een paar jaar geleden was alleen de stenen obelisk op de top van de Pyramide te zien wegens gebrek aan onderhoud. Nederlandse en Franse overheidsinstanties besloten dat het monument moest blijven bestaan. In 2000 is men dan ook de piramide, met het bos erom heen, gaan renoveren met als resultaat dat de “pyramide” onder de stenen obelisk weer zichtbaar is. Je kunt de 81 treden tellende piramide beklimmen (excl. de treden bij de opstap). Het gras van de piramide wordt wekelijks handmatig gemaaid.
(gezien tijdens wandelroute Franse Putten van www.mooisteroutes.nl; 12 km).
The "Pyramid of Austerlitz" was built in 1804.
General Marmont had the pyramid built by the Franco-Batavian army, in tribute to his friend Napoleon Bonaparte. Inspired by his campaign to Egypt, Marmont chose a pyramid with an obelisk on top. This obelisk was made of wood and quickly fell into disrepair. In 1894 a new obelisk of stone was built.
Napoleon's brother Louis Napoleon, then King of Holland, gave the monument the name “Pyramid of Austerlitz” after the battle in today's Czech Republic.
