Top of Page x x x Sunday 25/05/2008 Yesterday we had a big Picnic in the park, more pictures soon :)) Meanwhile in the city, the Cops figured it was a very good idea to disturb the peace and evict squatters from some buildings they've lived in peacefully for over a year now...obviously God was not on the cops side, as he made the sun shine and the temperatures rise up to almost 30 degrees, not so nice when you're wearing Riot-gear, hehe ;-P Got something to say about this?

Top of Page x x x Sunday 11/05/2008 Since Queensday it's been really lovely, hot weather in the best city in the world, you can't do much but sit in the world's smallest swimming pool and lick ice cubes :)) Of course the nice weather means that there are no puddles for reflection shots, so I've resorted to canals, rivers, cars, lighters and buildings for some wicked reflections :)) Got something to say about this? Top of Page x x x Sunday 04/05/2008 On the 4th&5th of May each year we remember the lives lost in World War II and other Wars and we celebrate the Liberation from the Nazi-Occupation, here is more information about those days... "Liberation Day (Dutch: Bevrijdingsdag) is celebrated each year on May 5 in the Netherlands to mark the end of the German occupation during the Second World War. The nation was liberated largely by Canadian troops. On May 5, 1945, the Canadian General Charles Foulkes and the German Commander-in-Chief Johannes Blaskowitz reached an oral agreement on the capitulation of Germany in Hotel De Wereld in Wageningen. One day later, the capitulation document was signed in the auditorium of the Agricultural University located next to the hotel. After the liberation in 1945 the decision was made that Liberation Day was going to be celebrated every 5 years. Only in 1990, the day was declared a national holiday, on which the liberation would be commemorated and celebrated annually. On May 4 the Dutch remember the people who have fought for and died during World War II, and wars in general. There is a remembrance gathering in the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam and at the National Monument on the Dam Square in Amsterdam. Throughout the country two minutes of silence are held at 8 p.m.. On May 5 the liberation is celebrated and festivals are held in most places." Got something to say about this?
