by tompt There is not much to see of the old city strongholds, only the contours and the moat surrounding the city are giving an idea of what it must have been like in the old days. But it is a nice walk along the water with lots of green. You also see two windmills, and even a part of the old northgate. The distance is not long and you can easily walk it in an hour.

 MIDDELBURG by ATLC Everywhere in The Netherlands people organised help for the victims of the disaster. Hundreds of children were sent on holiday, even as far as Italy, to regain strength and help them forget the bad times. Many goods were collected, food, clothes and houseware. The photo shows some products from those times: soap, tinned peas... To raise money there were stamp savings, concerts and exhibitions, an old man polished shoes for a fee, books were published, children organised fundraising with cents and dimes and the tv-stations held a charity called Purses Open, Dykes Closed (Beurzen open, dijken dicht).

 MIDDELBURG by ATLC Over 1800 people died in this disaster. And since then Dutch engineering has developed itself to the finest in the world to win the fight against the sea by building various dams and storm barriers and still leaving the natural water and its flora and fauna intact. I took this picture off a video shown at the exhibition at the Zeeuwsche Archief. It shows three men and a woman going in a boat over to their house, maybe to salvage anything that is left.

 Koepoort, Middelburg by tompt The Koepoort (cowgate) is an old citygate. It was designed by Jan de Munck in 1735. The gate was not only a citygate but also the house to two families. Leave a Comment

 nehalennieae-goddess-middelburg by RoyJava Yep! Holland did have a Goddess of its own. Nehalennieae is a Goddess, a female deity, contrasts with male deities, known as "Gods". Stone altars were shown when spring tide blew away the dune sand. Research and studies dated the altars, special dedicated to Nehalennieae, as early as 3 centuries BC. Most pieces show a young female figure, sitting on a throne in an apse between two columns, holding a basket of apples on her lap. Almost always, there is a wolf dog at her side. In some cases, the fruit basket is replaced by something that looks like loaves of bread; in other cases, we can see the woman standing next to a ship or a prow. Ofcourse the interpretations are extremely difficult, although there are some certain cases. Symbols show the reservations to gods, so for sure Nehalennieae is not a Priestess, or even a mermaid ...
