The Collegiate Church of Santa María de Alquézar.

Marjan wanted to visit this church because it originally had Moorish influences. I went because there was a huge rain shower. But I enjoyed taking photos without a tripod in the little light … and was impressed by all the frills that had been placed in this church for the past 1000 years. The guide

Alquézar.
Alquézar is situated in the Sierra y Cañones de Guara Natural Park in Aragon, Spain. We have visited this old town on a rainy day. A few impressions during our walk through the town to the church…. No street in this city runs horizontally … ideal for walkers, because of no busy traffic through the narrow

Rio Ara.

We made a short walk alongside the river near Jánovas: Rio Ara. For the construction of a dam at Jánovas (which fortunately did not take place), large tunnels were made for work traffic in the past. Nature has taken it back! The dead-end road is only 800 meters long but has now become a beautiful

Jánovas revisited

We were in Jánovas before, but it made such an intense impression that we wanted to go there again to see the progress of the restorations. All current information can be found on this site. A few streets have common facilities such as water, electricity and sewerage. They are also nicely sealed with a provisional

Aragon

We drove at ease through Aragon. A beautiful area where a proud people have lived for centuries, just listen to this song … It is a pity that the old culture of living in small villages nowadays suffers from migration to the big city. I expect that the coming energy- and economy transition will cause

Esco

It’s known as an “Pueblo Abandonado”, but I’m not sure if it really was left voluntarily … Esco “A Franco-era dam flooded (almost) everyone out of this centuries-old Aragonese town.” Source: Abandoned Village of Esco – Sigüés, Spain – Atlas Obscura If you’re careful and aware of the dangers of an unlocked ruin, you can

Through the Basque region from France to Spain …

We were in Moliets-Plage when we read about the fire in Notre-Dame … The Basque region is fantastic to travel through … With our camper we want to be free, in a quiet and interesting place in nature, with an eye on the local history … Despite the low water level, photography was pleasant around

Retired and then enjoy living in France!
A former fellow student of Marjan is retired and has decided to live in the South of France … during our vacation we visited her. Her house has more or less remained in its original state as it was bought years ago. I tried to capture the romantic and inviting appearance. Nowadays she’s living like

La Roche d’Oëtre

La Roche d’ Oëtre is a very nice area for nice walks. We have used it as a starting point for a camper trip to the Pyrenees …

Identitarian

It It looks like a new political trend is emerging in the western world. More and more people are calling themselves Identitarians. When I saw this music video I had to think about it. Music, text and images go back to ancient times in which cultures were still region-specific. Rammstein also uses that feeling …

Max van Weezel (1951-2019)

Bron: Max van Weezel (1951-2019): zinnebeeld van de Haagse journalistiek | De Volkskrant I grew up with the interpretation of Max. Of all the journalists who mattered, his method appealed to me the most. His voice over the radio led me through the political landscape of the Netherlands. My political paradigm is largely a legacy
