The Sand Motor is an innovative method for coastal protection. It is a huge volume of sand that has been applied along the coast of the province South-Holland at Ter Heijde in 2011. Wind, waves and currents will spread the sand naturally along of South-Holland coastline. The Sand Motor will gradually change in shape and will eventually befully incorporated into the dunes and the beach. The coast will be broader and safer. Watch the film about the construction of the Sand Motor.

The Brouwersdam is the seventh of the Dutch Delta Works. Started in 1965 and finished in 1971, it has closed off the connection between the North Sea and the Brouwershavense Gat, thus protecting the islands of the Dutch provinces of Zuid-Holland and Zeeland against major floods.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Den Haag, Kunstmuseum, P.H. Berlage, Dick Braeckman, 5 B&W photos. People (uncut)
Walking thru the Kunstmuseum The Hague, formerly Gemeentemuseum The Hague) it is sometimes difficult to choose to focus on the delightful early modernist Berlagian flow of space and light or the artworks on display. Luckily there’s photography to balance things out and have it both ways, like in the pic shown here – a light court doing its magic.
Check out Hendrik van Leeuwen's text below to learn about Dirk Braeckman and this work. Thanx Hendrk, also for your narration during the visit to the museum.
“Dirk Braeckman (born in 1958 and closely associated with Ghent) felt that painting was not for him. Just as Odysseus was lured to the rocks by the song of the Sirens, an inner voice lured him to the darkroom of photography. To the magician's chamber that Dutch enthusiasts abbreviate to 'doka'. He felt at home there. Classical rules about tonal value, focus and composition were soon thrown overboard. He started painting with lamps and chemicals, in an increasingly larger format.
With him, every print has a life of its own. In the Kunstmuseum, five photos of the sea hang next to each other. All made from the same negative and yet the differences are enormous. "In my armchair, I often think about art and philosophy, but in the darkroom, I act impulsively," says Braeckman. "I want to surprise myself. Time and again. That is possible with this profession."
What drives a person? Dirk Braeckman does not want to know when he works, but he too must have core images from his youth that do not let him go. He tells us hesitantly about his father. “Unlike me, he was very sporty. He liked to dive deep into the sea. As a child, I often went with him. I would sit on the shore for hours waiting. Or worse, on a boat far out at sea. He didn’t notice it, but I never knew when he would surface again.””

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Hefkwartier, former Unilever complex, De Kaai (uncut)
The former Unilever factory on the Kop van Feijenoord in Rotterdam Zuid is a rather special place. For more than a century, it was a closed industrial site, occupied by the Unilever factory (foodstuff production). The original factory designed by A. Nolen in 1892 (the red brick structure), was initiated by Simon van den Bergh. It merged in 1927 with the Jurgens factory and later became Unilever. The modern addition on top of the building is called ‘De Brug’ (the bridge) was added in 2005 (JKH architecten).
It once housed the Benelux HQ of Unilever, which later moved to the former Shell building at the Hofplein (Rotterdam Centre) and later to the UK. . 'De Brug; is now used by the software company JEX. It once housed the Benelux HQ of Unilever which first moved to the former Shell building at the Hofplein (Rotterdam Centre) and later to the UK. The company tried to 'blackmail' the PM over this. It lobbied for the abolition of a specific corporate tax, threatening that it would leave Holland if the tax weren't abolished. Rutte (now the secretary-general of NATO) initially gave in, but the parliament prevented the abolition, and Unielever left Holland.
After the demolition of the industrial installations, the old building and the rest will be transformed into a place 'to live, work and experience': De Kaai. With approximately 1,000 houses, 'cozy' streets and social functions, nice cafes, sports facilities and a unique waterfront park. Some 20% from the houses will be created as attainable rental units. On the waterfront, the quays are already transformed into walking and cycling paths for better accessibility and connection to the centre. The first homes are expected to be completed at the end of 2026.
Together with the already redeveloped Oranjeboom brewery terrain it is called the Hefkwartier.
This is number 353 of Urban Frontiers and 101 of Nikon 1 (S1 & J5).

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Hoek van Holland, Line B, North Sea, Hoek van Holland Strand Station, Turnstiles (slightly cut from T)
The former 'Hoekse Lijn'—the NS railway line Rottedam-Hoek van Holland—has been converted to light rail and is now an integral part of the Rotterdam metro system. The line, which is being exploited by the Rotterdam municipal public transit organization RET, is now called 'Line B' (Hoek van Holland to Nesselande).
Like the other western stations of this line, Hoek van Holland Strand (Beach), the terminus, was designed by Marc Verheijen of Municipal Works Rotterdam (Gemeentewerken Rotterdam). He used colours to create stylistic unity. Along the line, he presents the voyager with different shades of yellow and red. The specific colour scheme (and in this case the texture too) of the terminus station shown here is meant to refer to the beach (and the sunset).
This is number 739 of the Rotterdam architecture Rotterdam architecture album and 37 of Metro stations.

Gable stones (Dutch gevelstenen) are carved and often colourfully painted stone tablets, which are set into the walls of buildings, usually at about 4 metres from the ground. They serve both to identify and embellish the building. They are also called "stone tablets" by the Rijksmuseum, which sometimes appends "from a facade". A "wall stone" is another suggested translation from the Dutch term.
The content of gable stones may explain something about the house's owner and are a feature of the urban fabric of Amsterdam. Some 2,500 of these stones can still be found in the Netherlands, of which around 850 are in Amsterdam and 250 in Maastricht, while others are also found in cities such as Brussels, Lille and Copenhagen
Gable stones came into use in the 16th century, in the days before house numbers, taking over from hanging signs as a way of simultaneously and memorably identifying and adorning a house.

Backside of the castle.
Kasteel Duivenvoorde (Castle Duivenvoorde) is located in the town of Voorschoten, Zuid-Holland in the Netherlands. It was first mentioned in 1226, making it one of the older castles in Zuid-Holland
The castle is remarkable in that it was never sold; it was inherited by several different noble houses, sometimes through the matrilineal line, something that can be said of very few Dutch castles. For the first five centuries of its history, the castle was owned by one and the same family, namely the Van Duivenvoordes, who gave their name - at that time, van Duvenvoirde - to the castle. Though the castle was named thus, the van Duvenvoirdes properly formed part of the House of Wassenaer, an ancient noble family that has played an important role in Dutch history. Toward the end of the 17th century an owner of Kasteel Duivenvoorde, Johan, retook the name of van Wassenaar Therefor, though the same family remained to live in the House, this was ow under a different name.

Today (30 November, 2021) on the news: this coal-fired power station (one of biggest polluters of the Netherlands, build in 2015) will be closed, maybe as soon as within the next two months. Necessary for NL to be able to live up to the Paris Agreements. There's three more coal fired power stations to go.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Arturia MicroFreak (uncut)
Audio synthesizers generally look like switchboards, not straying far from what is going on in their innards. French Arturia luckily made another choice for the paraphonic MicroFreak.
The thing is so fun to play (that capacitive keyboard is very nice, it even offers ´aftertouch´) and to tinker with, that its surname ´Grain de folie´ (Bit of fun, literally 'Grain of madness') is very aptly chosen.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam,Cerntre, Wijnhaveneiland, High rises (uncut)
In the 80s it had become evident that the strictly functionalistic urban design of the city centre of post 2nd world war Rotterdam didn't cut it anymore. In the first post-war decades, it did enhance functionality, offering a clear break from the congestion and other development problems of the pre-war city centre. And its morphology offered the symbolism of a brave new world. But...... due to the post-war social-economic boom and the rise of consumerism, the strict segregation of living, business and administration made the city heart feel like a place that didn't seem to live and breath. It was simply too high on business and too low on living and recreation. One of the programs to rectify this was the R'dam high rise policy - the insertion of a series of high-density up-market apartment buildings in and near the city centre. The Red Apple (on the right, KCAP Architecten & Jan des Bouvrie) is one of them.
Of course the 7Artisans fisheye was used here. Its album is here.

The city of Gorinchem has definately the strangest name of all Dutch cities, because it's written as 'Gorinchem' but you pronounce it as 'Gorkum'. This is totally weird, because there are definately no grammar rules in Dutch language about this.
But no matter what, however you call it: it still has a very attractive city center after all...
Have a nice day everyone!
