Feels good after a rainy week. A rural area not far from our home. The farm in the distance is located in Germany. The border between Netherlands and Germany is somewhere in the valley. Thanks to a united Europe there are no boundaries anymore and you would not know if you had crossed a border. <br />

This region is traditionnaly Roman Catholic and everywhere along the way you will find road crosses and field crosses. Some of them are real gems. While taking pictures I saw this simple but beautiful cross right next to where I was standing. Only in this road there are three crosses. No pictures of the other two. Too much traffic.<br />

After three days the sky opened for a few seconds and surprised us with a beautiful rainbow very close to the house we stayed. It was gone before we got to the pot of gold. So close to it and no luck!<br />

It was an eventful time with my husband having an accident and being hospitalised, his recovery and therapy and hence our moving house. It left no time for photography. Things are easing down now and I hope to get time to go out again and take some pictures now and then.<br />
This week we spent in the western part of the Netherlands in the province of Zeeland. I always am amazed by the flatness of the land. It is all beneath sea level and so different from the part where we live.<br />

After two hot and rainy days the sun came out and we saw a bright blue sky. I was impressed by this building which really tried to reach the sky. I took the photo from the 22d floor of our hotel. No idea what the exact height is and how many floors there are in it.</span><br />

Last week I went to Houston, Texas, and spent to and fro about 24 hours in planes. Feels good to see the clouds from above. There you see the variety of clouds like endless white landscapes with mountains and valleys, without crowds, traffic and noise.<br />
So peaceful.<br />

The region where I spent my childhood is close to the highest point of the Netherlands. And would you believe I had never been there? So we drove to the watch-tower on the Vaalserberg. It is located on the spot where three countries meet namely Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. While writing this post it suddenly occurred to me that the pictures I took on Sunday are historic now. Since 10.10.2010 the highest point of the Netherlands is Mount Scenery on the isle of Saba. Saba was part of the Dutch Antilles which ceased to exist last Monday. Curacoa, Aruba and St. Maarten chose to be independent countries while Saba, St. Eustacius and Bonaire prefered to stay part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Officially the three islands together are now a Dutch municipality.<br />

Untill last Monday this was the highest point of the Netherlands, 323 m above NAP (sea level)<br />

Typical for this region are the slim pointed church towers. You see them everywhere in the villages between the hills.<br />

The first picture gives an impression of how the area looked about 30 years ago except for the Kentucky Fried Chicken in the front. The other pictures show how it is now. Could be anywhere I suppose! Same shops, same restaurants anywhere.<br />
It was a misty day which shows in the photos.<br />

It is a very old and historic city. The centre of the city is the Aachener Dom (cathedral) of which I will show some photos. Aachen has been severely bombed by the Allied Forces during WW2 but as a wonder the cathedral survived. It has been damaged several times but a group of brave teenagers kept guard during the war and extinguished each and every fire that they discovered.<br />Construction of the oldest part of the church started in 792, the octagon that is now the centre of the building.

I think the picture must have been taken before the war because I see empty spots of land where I remember houses. I also see only one cooling tower and there were two as far as I remember.<br />The closing of this coal mine as of all the other mines in this region had an enormous impact on life. Many people were glad they did not have to do the hard and dirty work anymore though most of them feared a collapse of the economy and empoverishment in the future. Government promised alternative employment by developping and setting up new heavily subsidised industries. But they were not very succesful. Many young people left the area to find jobs elswhere in the Netherlands. The former mining part of the Netherlands changed it looks totally during the last decades. It is about the most beautiful part of the country with a foreign look. Not many windmills, no clogs, not much water and no flat polders here. Geologically the land belongs to the northern part of the Belgian Ardennes. Tourism has been promoted and many touristic attractions have been developped. There is a strong interaction with the surrounding countries Germany and Belgium and the region is flourishing again. The only concern of the government is that there live relatively more older people here than in other parts of the country. That is one of the effects of young people moving way three decades ago. <br /><br />The Domaniale Mine, probably before WW2<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrgVL_oLZVPSaq4-coC_9LH_EpJY4XCOM-5dzlnarMIuuVF_s3t8W8ZBz3FBcH6jZtk7VjtZdpGR0yPMi8p3lKKQOoB7tsjT6VNVlmYtkbH_6Hgtu54Nk2dbnUS4ZUynyCQiMvJGtKfQ/s1600/Domaniale.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrgVL_oLZVPSaq4-coC_9LH_EpJY4XCOM-5dzlnarMIuuVF_s3t8W8ZBz3FBcH6jZtk7VjtZdpGR0yPMi8p3lKKQOoB7tsjT6VNVlmYtkbH_6Hgtu54Nk2dbnUS4ZUynyCQiMvJGtKfQ/s400/Domaniale.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508704581270465458" /></a> <br /><br />This is how the area looks now<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPMbaLylStLCCf-6kRsgSLiCJOdP3mriNr3ywa9oKFZFWmDTZxr3KoFIt7sr1hTNNz_tA3j5Ry7E9Z3ach556NScFNIXebab2k5wm14GCfzRbi_dAOmCRDsLCvqaVcDw1K9IhifLfQfA/s1600/collage+Kerkrade.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPMbaLylStLCCf-6kRsgSLiCJOdP3mriNr3ywa9oKFZFWmDTZxr3KoFIt7sr1hTNNz_tA3j5Ry7E9Z3ach556NScFNIXebab2k5wm14GCfzRbi_dAOmCRDsLCvqaVcDw1K9IhifLfQfA/s400/collage+Kerkrade.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508709558786926690" /></a>Jossiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02148250484001386493noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2875499719964535903.post-84299615931112592382010-08-20T01:01:00.006+02:002010-08-20T02:06:15.625+02:00SkyWatch FridayHighways and crossroads.

This is where I grew up. It looks quite good now but it is a former mining area. The oldest coal mining area of Europe. It was in the 11th century that the coal reached the surface at Rolduc and mining was not very difficult. When the mine was exhausted they had to dig deeper and coal mines were established. During the 1960s most mines were closed and the grounds were developed for housing and recreation.<br /><br />The road in this picture used to be a railroad for coal transport only. I had to cross it every day when going to school. A high wall and a barrier prevented us from entering the mining site. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEity-LsQaifKxxkrj8FSpW4jTVsJmT-6MlXSu4v4u7HZ8s4Hwf8KGvKW7IdpMTD7GIQZDR0KPY2oIyOgT1-3BZUBrAJ4-S6WcUfmtcPQGPmr15Cqpx8O_NW4zL5z5pWtuqWgOqjWJhp5A/s1600/Kerkrade+065verkl.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEity-LsQaifKxxkrj8FSpW4jTVsJmT-6MlXSu4v4u7HZ8s4Hwf8KGvKW7IdpMTD7GIQZDR0KPY2oIyOgT1-3BZUBrAJ4-S6WcUfmtcPQGPmr15Cqpx8O_NW4zL5z5pWtuqWgOqjWJhp5A/s400/Kerkrade+065verkl.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506140038836681202" /></a><br /><br />These two pictures give you an impression of how it looks today.
