This location at the beach of the province North Holland was on my list already for long time. So a few weeks ago I headed for it. But during the one hour drive to it the sky became fully clouded so my hope for a beautiful sunset evaporated. While taking (long exposure) pictures there all at a sudden and just ten minutes before sunset, the sun dropped from behind the clouds and set the sky on fire. Petten, 2019.
Again, I would like to thank everyone for your support, views, faves and comments!
The poles at the beach of Petten are a monument, remembering the old village of Petten which was flooded away by the sea two times over about 600 years. The monument consists of 160 poles, forming the foundations of ten houses and a church.
In 1910 stock broker William Porter built the colossal granite mansion “Foxcroft” on the top of Fox Hill, selected for the commanding views it afforded. In 1911, while traveling back to New York after a weekend at Foxcroft, Porter was killed in an automobile accident. He was survived by his wife Ruth Halliwell Porter, who was returning from a European vacation aboard the Lusitania at the time of the crash.
In 1913, Ruth married Warren Van Slyke and renamed their part-time retreat the Van Slyke Castle. When Warren died in 1925, Ruth moved to the castle permanently and remained there until her death in 1940. On March 1, 1949, the Castle was purchased by Celeste and Robin MacFadden, who subsequently sold to Suzanne S. Christie on July 2, 1951. Between 1951 and 1962, Suzanne S. Christie was to become Suzanne S. O’Sullivan then Suzanne Noyes Brussel. As strange as it may seem, Suzanne (who was the sole owner) abandoned the mansion between husbands, and left it to the mercy of the elements. In 1959, the magnificent structure was reduced to ruins in a fire of undetermined origin.
On August 18, 1978, Suzanne Brussel sold the ruins to Bruce Ademski of the Ademski and Van Saun Home Improvement Company. Ademski then subdivided the 15.9 acre parcel into three 5 acre lots. On February 22, 1980 the State of New Jersey filed a “Declaration of Taking;” which informed Ademski that his lots would soon be seized by the NJDEP at a non-negotiable price. Shortly after the receipt of this document, Ademski’s lots became part of Ramapo Mountain State Forest.
In the early part of the 20th century, Clifford MacEvoy purchased about 2600-acres of what would become Ramapo Mountain State Forest. In 1976 the area became state lands using Green Acres and federal funds. The majority of Park acreage was conveyed by the trustee of the Clifford MacEvoy estate to the State of New Jersey to be included as part of the existing Ramapo State Forest.

A small tribute to those we have lost over the last year and all the empty chairs that's left behind...
The artwork "BOL" by Stuart Frost, was created in 2011 and now after almost 11 years in the forest, it has started the process of recycling itself.

If you can't see an eye, just take some steps back and try again ; ))
Detail of an autographed handmade serigraph I bought some years ago at an exhibition. It's a reproduction of a word painting by the artist SAXA (Cologne), which is handwritten ink on canvas.
Taken with a narrow angle and rather wide open to only get the eye into focus ... the bubbly bokeh balls on the right side are actually letters / words too ... the whole work of art is made of words, phrases, lyrics ... really really cool ; ))

Sandcastle
We really see some amazing sandcastles in Torremolinos and this one was the most beautiful.
Such craftsmanship, I'm already happy if I can build a little dike or something.
We find the works of nature still more pleasant, the more they resemble those of art.
(Joseph Addison)
As pointed out by my Flickr friend Leon, the droplets below the leaf are held in a spiders web. It is a stunning miracle of nature.
Thanks for visiting.
You take care out there....

“Have you ever experienced a beauty of soul, an aesthetic grace, that was so intense it made you want to cry?"

THE SWEETEST TABOO - SADE
FEAR/TEMOR
Standing by and letting me float free
you stand so close; I can taste your breath
my heart is racing, but my soul is slow
I am running to nowhere until I hit the wall
You play to me late into the night
you listen to me singing all day long
we hold each other so distantly
both scared to run to where we can't hide
let me closer into your arms
wrap me with love and tender kisses
walk out with me; tell me all you know
and dance me to the golden hour
I don't think it at all possible
to fall in love and remain as friends
so I let you walk alone on your reconfigured journey
it's the only way this will always end
I can write and re-write every tiny detail
but it will always play out just like this
we had a good run for all this time
but it could never be ended so simply with a lover's kiss
So you walk off like a cowboy into the sunset
and I'll drive alone along parallel lines
you take the right road, it's the right road for you
and I'll take what's left of the setting sun
The power lines above us are filled with energy
I can feel the tingling in my head
but they can't raise the flatness all around us
or erase the memories of the things we said
Fear is something that I learned from the age of seven,
do you remember that day, the day I drowned
I knew then what I'll always know
when something's lost, it can never be re-found
What you've got to do is create
your own sweet reality within your pure but burgeoning mind
nothing and no-one can take this from you
so you learn to be cruel just to be kind
You'll be ok; I know you'll make it
you're not so lost you can't be found
but what love has taught me; I know that life has brought me
the imagination and strength to stand my ground

Artistic painted silo.
I am guessing this may be an older silo refurbished and painted.
To me, the silo resembles, a lighthouse, a windmill or even a small castle.....it most definitely has a European flair.
It's absolutely wonderful to view.

A silo (from the Greek σιρός – siros, "pit for holding grain") is a structure for storing bulk materials. Silos are used in agriculture to store grain (see grain elevators) or fermented feed known as silage. Silos are commonly used for bulk storage of grain, coal, cement, carbon black, woodchips, food products and sawdust. Wikipedia
Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships. Wishing you all health during this difficult time.
Stay Healthy
