Vier deuren tegelijk voor #doorsday. A beautiful old building in Hoorn North Holland Netherlands.#nederland #thenetherlands #architecture #history #photography #streetphotography #fediphoto #doors #pixelfed #alttekst

The facade stone with ship is from 1616. It says: “In den Oste[r]varer” . Ostervarers” were sailing ships that sailed to the Baltic Sea countries from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. On the outward journey they transported herring, dairy products and sea salt from Spain and Portugal. On their return journey they were loaded with wheat, rye and barley, which were then daily fare. Beer was also brought along in large quantities. The most commonly used type of ship on the Oostvaart was the flute ship, of which the variant ‘de lange fluit’ is depicted here.
The flute ship was developed in Hoorn; the first flute ship was launched in 1595 at a shipyard in Hoorn. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the flute ship also became the most built ship for European waters internationally.
A surfer on the sea in Scheveningen The Hague. The same sea as the surfer from two photos ago, but under completely different circumstances. The weather is lovely now and the sun is setting. But not such high waves as the other surfer had. But it must be very special to paddle across the sea almost all by yourself at that time. #seewednesday #meermittwoch #sea #meer #waves #goldenhour #sunset #beachlife #surfer #surfing #photography #fotografie #denhaag #nederland #northsea #thenetherlands #fediphoto #pixelfed #alttext

#USpolitics #TheNetherlands #MemorialDay [2]

Whereas #Trump succeeds in making this day about him.
In the Netherlands 🇳🇱 we had a 'Memorial Day' of our own.
We did celebrate the National Liberation Day just a few weeks back,
but Memorial Day is something different.

Whatever we think about USpolitics nowadays....
we will always be very thankful to the men that fell for our freedom.
On the cemetery 'Margraten' where all the graves are,
our King and Prime Minister both went to comemorate the young men that sacrified their life for our freedom. Those graves are all 'adopted' by families of the region and cared for. Most of them have close ties with the living relatives of those heroes.

"May 26, 2025
“I think that same discrimination and the same Islamophobia that fascism gives rise to is also the reason why our government is still complicit in the genocide happening in Palestine right now.”
People demonstrated against fascism, the surge of the far-right and Dutch complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza at Amsterdam’s Dam Square on May 24."

#fotovorschlag Roofs, I was impressed by this beautiful roof of the large hall of the former slaughterhouse in The Hague built in 1908 to a design by the architect A. Schadée. Later, the Italian architect Aldo Rossi made a new design in 1988. A residential area has been built on the site and the large hall, called Galleria, with a renovated iron roof, offers space for shops and a district office. There are also 950 homes. #architecture #denhaag #nederland land #thenetherlands #photography #amateurphotography
#doorsday The only remaining city gate in the historic port town of Hoorn in North Holland, The Netherlands. On the other side are two more of those doors. The doors are open during the day. Cyclists ride through the gate over the bridge to the other district. #doors #travel #history #doors #travel #historic #photography #streetphotography #nederland #thenetherlands #photo #fotografie #amateurphotography #photos

The gate was built in 1578 to a design by Joost Jansz. Bilhamer. At that time, it was actually a gate in the earthen ramparts of the city. The passage was built slightly curved, possibly to make it more difficult to fire a cannon into the city from outside. Bilhamer designed the gate on the city side of brick with alternating layers of natural stone and on the land side entirely of natural stone. On the land side (2nd photo), in addition to the pilasters, there are also sculpted cannon barrels. The gate is located on the former defensive moat, dug in 1577.

In the Netherlands, the new forest is now also coming into the city: the astonishingly effective Tiny Forests, even in their minimal version (the size of a tennis court), already have an enormously positive impact on biodiversity in the city. In addition, a new generation of children, who have sometimes never been outside the city, can become acquainted with leaves, flowers and more than 900 different creatures with amazement...
The broadcast will be on Sunday 26 September 2021, on NPO 2 at 22:05 and from Saturday morning 25 September the episode can be seen via NPO start."

Nederlandse moskeeën willen duidelijke veroordeling door kabinet:
"Het structureel schenden van het humanitair recht en het doden van tienduizenden burgers door de Israëlische overheid, waaronder een zeer groot aantal kinderen, kan niet langer met stilte of vage formuleringen worden beantwoord."

I'm currently on a small train somewhere near the German border, going through beautiful greenery with cute houses in forests and train stations with pancake restaurants attached, having a mild existential crisis because is the Netherlands actually secretly nice?? 🥲🇳🇱 #thenetherlands #Amsterdam
