Op woensdag 27 april 2022 vond op het Statenplein te Dordrecht in het kader van de Koningsdagviering een pleintaptoe plaats onder de noemer "Oranjebandshow".
Aan deze show deden een aantal muziekkorpsen/marchingbands mee, waaronder de Show en Marchingband Euroband uit Rotterdam.
Van die band heb ik een kleine fotoreportage gemaakt.

Goeree and Overflakkee were once two separate islands. Little is known about the origins of Goeree. The island has a high age. Overflakkee is considerably younger and entirely made by human hands with some help from nature here and there.
The first reclamation is Dirksland in 1416, other dikes would follow soon. In 1751 a dam is laid between Goeree and Overflakkee and there is one island.

A bulb field is a field on which bulbous plants (initially only tulips ) are grown commercially. In the fall, the bulbs are planted again, after which straw is spread on the land and broken in to protect the bulbs from frost. After the bulbs have blossomed in the spring, the (usually virus-sick) bulbs and wandering (of other varieties) are searched for and removed. Although it takes energy to flower, it is necessary to find the diseased bulbs. Then the bulbs are mechanically headed . The bulbs are then harvested and exported all over the world, where the buyers plant them in their own garden .
I have seen this Renault Megane a few times parked at the station, so it is presumably owned by a permanent resident. Nevertheless, it still makes a nice spot.

Post mill (Dutch: Wipmolen - German: Kokerwindmuehle) De Blokker at the Blokweer Polder at Kinderdijk-Elshout, Zuid-Holland (South Holland), Netherlands
Some background information:
The windmills at Kinderdijk are a group of altogether 19 windmills in the Alblasserwaard polder, in the province of South Holland, Netherlands. Almost all mills are part of the village of Kinderdijk in the municipality of Molenwaard, but one mill, De Blokker, is part of the municipality of Alblasserdam. Mostly built in 1738 and 1740, to keep water out of the polder, it is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands and one of the best-known Dutch tourist sites. The mills are listed as national monuments and the entire area is a protected village view since 1993. The mills have also been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
The post mill De Blokker on my picture is the 19th mill in the ensemble. It was already built in 1521. De Blokker burned down a few times, for the last time in 1997, but in 2001 it was completely restored. Today De Blokker is one of the windmills at Kinderdijk, which is still operational.
Kinderdijk lies in the Alblasserwaard, at the confluence of the Lek and Noord rivers. In the 13th century problems with water became more and more apparent in Alblasserwaard. Large canals called "weteringen" were dug to get rid of the excess water in the polders. However, the drained soil started setting, while the level of the river rose due to the river's sand deposits.
After a few centuries, an additional way to keep the polders dry was required. It was decided to build a series of windmills, with a limited capacity to bridge water level differences, but just able to pump water into a reservoir at an intermediate level between the soil in the polder and the river. The reservoir could be pumped out into the river by other windmills whenever the river level was low enough. The river level has both seasonal and tidal variations. Although some of the windmills are still used, the main water works are provided by two diesel pumping stations near one of the entrances of the windmills site.
No longer being of use for bridging water level differences, some of the windmills were converted into private residences. Their owners keep them in good repair, gird them with beautiful, well-groomed gardens and therefore make them a lovely sight.
Kinderdijk is a village in the Netherlands, belonging to the municipality of Molenwaard, about 15 km (9 miles) east of Rotterdam. The name Kinderdijk is Dutch for "children dike" and derives from a folktale which is said to have been occurred during the Second Saint Elizabeth Flood of 1421.
In the course of this flood, the farming region Grote Hollandse Waard flooded, but the Alblasserwaard polder stayed unflooded. It is said that when the terrible storm had subsided, someone went on to the dike between these two areas, to see what could be saved. In the distance, he saw a wooden cradle floating on the waters. As it came nearer, some movement was detected. A cat was seen in the cradle trying to keep it in balance by jumping back and forth so that no water could get into it. As the cradle eventually came close enough to the dike for a bystander to pick it up, he saw that a baby was quietly sleeping inside it, nice and dry. The cat had kept the cradle balanced and afloat. By the way, this folktale and legend has been published as "The Cat and the Cradle" in English.
