HSL-Zuid (Dutch: Hogesnelheidslijn Zuid, English: High-Speed Line South), is a 125 km-long high-speed railway line between the Netherlands and Belgium. Together with the Belgian HSL 4 it forms the Schiphol - Antwerp High-Speed Line. Originally scheduled to be in service by 2007, the first public operations began on September 7, 2009, after a ceremony on September 6.[1]
The line is used by Thalys Amsterdam - Paris and Fyra Amsterdam - Breda services. At the pictured spot there are only Thalys trains at the moment.
Limited Fyra service between Amsterdam and Rotterdam began with conventional carriages and rented TRAXX locomotives, but it is hoped that from December 2010 the Fyra service will employ V250 trains and will be extended to The Hague, Breda, Antwerp and Brussels. Delivery of the V250 by its maker AnsaldoBreda has been delayed several times. Fyra is a service of NS Hispeed, a subsidiary of Nederlandse Spoorwegen and KLM, and NMBS.
On 13 December 2009, Thalys began services from Amsterdam to Paris and Brussels on the HSL-Zuid.
Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Maasvlakte 2. (uncut)
Economic powerhouse Rotterdam needs extra space for the expansion of its harbour activities. After some debate this led to the decision to start the work on Maasvlakte 2 , which's all about creating new land . On a patch of this (form: an peninsula) concrete foundations for the new container harbour are being prepared.

Zuid-Holland -
Klinkerland originally drained freely through lock passage on the Grevelingen. A long suction channel ran from the lock through the buntings to the open water. * In 1821 Klinkerland and Battenoord signed an agreement * which meant that Battenoord would build and maintain a lock in the Battenoord dike. The circumstances between the Klinkerland lock and the new lock would also be widened, deepened and maintained by Battenoord. In addition, Battenoord paid fl. 0.45 per meter for the right to water out over Klinkerland. The polders have since formed a water management unit. The suction channel of the Klinkerland polder developed into a harbor, the harbor of Klinkerland, also known as the harbor of Battenoord. The port is owned by the estate of Greyoord but is managed and maintained by the polder Klinkerland. * The harbor was kept at depth by a blowdown. * The polder received a patent in 1771 to levy harbor quay charges. * Feathers were also created on Bruinisse, Zijpe and St. Annaland. * The low grasslands along the banks of the Paardegat were undercut by a small water mill. In 1912 * an agreement was concluded on this subject, in which the polder took on the sight of establishing a wind auger motor. The owners would then pay the full polder charges. In 1933 it was decided to build an electric pumping station. The polders then requested to be merged into an administrative polder in order to obtain a correct arrangement of the participation.
raam / window Hofpleinviaduct
Dit betonnen viaduct werd rond de eeuwwisseling aangelegd door de toen nieuwe Elektrische Spoorwegmaatschappij Zuid-Holland (ZHESM) voor een spoorverbinding tussen het Hofplein en Scheveningen. Met een lengte van bijna twee kilometer is het een van de eerste grote betonconstructies van Nederland. De speciaal voor de bouw opgerichte onderneming zou later bouwbedrijf HBG worden. Het viaduct bestaat uit 189 bogen, waarvan de openingen werden gekoloniseerd door pakhuizen, winkels en bedrijven. In 1918 heeft J.J.P. Oud als stadsarchitect maakte een plan om tussen de bogen tijdelijke woningen op te richten. Station Hofplein, ontworpen door J.P. Stok, verging tijdens het oorlogsbombardement en sindsdien is de door Van Ravesteyn ontworpen opvolger gesloopt. Door de komst van Randstadrail is het Hofpleinviaduct overbodig geworden.
This concrete viaduct was constructed at the turn of the century by the then new Zuid-Holland electric railway company (ZHESM) for a rail link between Hofplein and Scheveningen. Almost two kilometres long, it is one of the first large concrete structures in the Netherlands. The enterprise specially set up to construct it would later become the HBG construction company. The viaduct consists of 189 arches, whose openings were colonized by warehouses, shops and companies. In 1918, J.J.P. Oud as City Architect drew up a plan to erect temporary housing between the arches. Hofplein station, designed by J.P. Stok, perished during the wartime bombing raid and since then its successor designed by Van Ravesteyn has been demolished. The arrival of Randstadrail has made the Hofplein Viaduct redundant.

The agricultural area in use for bulb cultivation grew by 10.5 thousand hectares (74 percent) in the period 1980-2015. The greatest growth took place between 1990 and 2000, when more than 6,000 hectares of bulb cultivation were added. In the following period, the total area increased by 2 300 hectares. With this, the area of bulb cultivation in 2015, with almost 25 thousand hectares, reached the largest area ever.

Bulbs are also grown on sandy clay soils just behind the dunes on the islands of Voorne in South Holland and on Goeree-Overflakkee .

The Flower Bulb Inspection Service (BKD) was established in 1923. Growers of flower bulbs are required to register with the BKD. The service inspects flower bulbs for both quality and quarantine infestations. In addition to quality inspections, the BKD carries out import and export inspections for non-EU countries and laboratory research.

I took this last year on a visit to family, just before the 1st lockdown. Revisiting the photos I realised that it was crying out to be aged.
Hope you like it.

Dutch Landscapes - Zuid-Holland -
In Nederland waren twee locaties langs de Nederlandse kust voor de Duitsers van groot belang. Het belangrijkst was Festung Hoek van Holland aan de monding van de Nieuwe Waterweg met in het achterland de wereldhaven Rotterdam. De andere belangrijke locatie was Festung IJmuiden met in het achterland de haven van Amsterdam. Beide locaties werden uitgebouwd met een groot aantal bunkers, mijnenvelden en versperringen.

Most importantly Fortress Hook of Holland at the mouth of the New Waterway in the hinterland of the international port of Rotterdam. The other key location was Festung IJmuiden in the hinterland of the port of Amsterdam. Both locations were expanded with numerous bunkers, minefields and barricades.

Het gezin / the family
Het keramisch wandreliëf Het gezin is één van de wederopbouwkunstwerken, die de Rotterdamse kunstenaar Louis van Roode maakte in zijn eigen stad. Van zijn hand is ook de mozaïek De reis van Erasmus op het Holbeinhuis en het glasmozaïek aan de zijgevel van het gerenoveerde Stationspostkantoor (Central Post). Het reliëf laat een man en vrouw zien met een kind aan de hand. Daarnaast zijn er ook illustraties van een duif (vrede) en een bankgebouw (stad). Het is het kantoor van de Eerste Hollandse Levensverzekering Bank, die hier gevestigd was. Het gezin is gemaakt van geglazuurde chamotteklei en mozaïek.
