The boat of Sinterklaas by jchanders
Just as last year I went to the great yearly event of the arrival of „Sinterklaas“, the Dutch version of Santa Claus. As he is a miraculous figure, he arrives today at all towns of the country. Fortunately little children do not care about that. There will be the day of their awakening though, when they start doubting whether Sinterklaas is real. Especially exciting when they are the eldest of the children in a family, who already “know”, while the smaller ones still believe the wonderful story of the “sint” with all the trust of their young years. As we have a little old canal here at Hilversum, Sinterklaas arrives in proper style by boat, the “pakjesboot” (parcel boat). After all he must bring all the parcels for the children here in this country. On the evening of 5th December he shall visit all houses and bring the presents, being helped by his little helpers, the black Peters. As to the number 13 of this parcel boat, I found on Wikipedia that the big parcel boat coming from Spain and arriving at just one chosen harbour town each year is “pakjesboot 12”. There are sometimes other boats used with the number 13 en 14. But why not 1,2 … or 11? Please do not ask me. Perhaps one of our Dutch RB friends does know this.

The Weight Of The World by Tara Lemana
Just playing around in PSP with a photo of my daughter Kassidy in a pensive mood, I couldn’t help but think how she looked old beyond her years, and she made me think of the Child Empress in The Neverending Story I and how she had the weight of the world on her shoulders. A little tweaking and playing with several different photos and this is the result! :) All resources used my own, taken on my Canon Powershot A480 point and shoot. A little help from the generous Trisste for a slight emphasis on the lashes. 500+ Viewings group: 516 views at the time of submission.

Eenzame Kerst by DevineDayDreams
a Christmas tearjerker old Amsterdam style! :) Ik zit hier heel alleen kerstfeest te vieren / De straf die ik verdiend heb zit ik uit / Ik stal voor ons gezin, maar dat had toch geen zin / Want jij viert nu kerstfeest met een ander / Hoe heb je mij zo snel kunnen vergeten? / Waarom zit er nu een ander op mijn stoel? / Ik ben zo eenzaam hier, in die koude kille cel / Kan jij echt niet begrijpen wat ik voel? Nu zit je bij de kerstboom met een ander / Mijn kinderen die zingen Stille Nacht / Ja stil zal het voor mij zeer zeker wezen / Met niets dat mijn verdriet verzacht / Mijn medemensen kregen een pakketje / Met de kerstwens ””Vader kom toch gauw weer thuis”“ / Ik kreeg de mijne niet, dat doet me veel verdriet / Niet welkom zijn in je eigen huis Misschien mag ik mijn kinderen nog wat geven / Wat geven uit het diepste van mijn hart / Vergeten kan ik niet, daarom dit kerstfeestlied / Een lied zo vol met smart / Voor mij zullen hier geen kaarsen branden / Ik voel mij als een kerstboom zonder piek / Ik voel me zo alleen, waar moet ik straks toch heen / In gedachten hoor ik kerstmuziek Ik zit hier heel alleen kerstfeest te vieren / De straf die ik verdiend heb zit ik uit / Ik stal voor ons gezin, maar dat had toch geen zin / Want jij viert nu kerstfeest met een ander / Misschien mag ik mijn kinderen nog wat geven / Wat geven uit het diepste van mijn hart / Vergeten kan ik niet, daarom dit kerstfeestlied / Een lied zo vol met smart Incendia&PSP

A place for contemplation by jchanders
Here another shot of the cloisters of the old cathedral of Utrecht, the “Dom”, this time showing the cloister gardens. On this Saturday morning early this November it was a very peaceful place in a bustling town again. The tourists had gone, and the students who sometimes sit and study here, obviously kept to warmer places, while autumn was giving its special touch to the garden. Under these conditions it was certainly still a place to take a moment of rest and to contemplate.

Sinterklaas is back in town by jchanders
Once again Sinterklaas (the Dutch Santa Claus) is back in Hilversum, as he is in all other Dutch towns. Yes, his mysterious powers are enormous. Just imagine him arriving in all towns on the same day and bringing presents for all Dutch children each year again. This fairy-tale world figure becomes real for some weeks each autumn. He is deeply interwoven in Dutch folklore. And as I read the other day, his relative position compared with Father Christmas is still very strong, if not even getting stronger again. People tend to cling closer to their cultural heritage in times of crises here too. In any case there were hundreds of children with their parents present at the old harbour of Hilversum, and they did not think about folklore or anything. For them the great mystical figure had come back. They will be placing their shoe next to the chimney tonight and will hope to get a little present. And then, on the evening of 5th December, the really big event is going to happen again. Sinterklaas will pass along all their houses, and there will hopefully be all the presents they dream about these days. Or at least some of them. For further info please see last year’s shot.

Sinterklaas once again by jchanders
The best way to say thank you for your wonderful comments on my earlier picture of this year’s arrival of Sinterklaas in Hilversum is to show you another of my shots of this event, I suppose. Here you can see that he is not only majestical, but also very attentive to the children who welcome him. The most enjoyable thing they experience at such an occasion is to get a handshake from the Sint. Their faces beam with happiness whenever they are so lucky to be rewarded for their waiting by such a handshake. Fortunately his welcome in Hilversum was a matter of no more than several hundred children. In Schiedam, the big “national” welcome, there were about 40 000 onlookers. Poor chance to get a handshake there. Much better to go to a smaller place to see him. A good thing that he arrives just everywhere. One up for his miraculous powers. It actually was pretty difficult with the bright, but low November sunshine to get a good shot. I was glad to get at least these two, out of about … Well, I won’t tell you how many shots I took and deleted afterwards.
