'Tammie Komt' (Black & White Photograph) · 24 August 2010, 12:59 CET by Charles Vermeulen
Pages from some teenage girl’s personal organizer found on the Galgepad near Sint Maartensdijk.
Pages from some teenage girl’s personal organizer, announcing that a girl named ‘Tammie’ will come (in Dutch: ‘Tammie komt’) on Tuesday. An appointment on Wednesday reads: ‘to mama’ (in Dutch: ‘naar mama’). I found the pages on the Galgepad near Sint Maartensdijk (Tholen, Zeeland, the Netherlands, August 21, 2010).

Fence pole on an embankment on which the former Langstraatspoorlijn traveled from Vlijmen to ’s Hertogenbosch.
The photo shows a fence pole on an embankment on which the former Langstraatspoorlijn travelled from Vlijmen to ’s Hertogenbosch near the Moerputten nature area. The Langstraatspoorlijn was a railroad from Lage Zwaluwe via Waalwijk to ’s-Hertogenbosch in the Dutch province of North Brabant. The pole looks as if it had been in use as a railroad tie. Several poles of this kind can be found in the area.

Meneba’s head office and the Maashaven harbour basin (Rotterdam, the Netherlands)
On this photo, which I shot from the Maaskade (Katendrecht, Rotterdam), Meneba’s Head office and cereal processing plant located between the Maashaven harbour basin / Maashaven Zuidzijde and the Brielselaan. The plant was designed by architect Michiel Brinkman (Rotterdam, December 16, 1873 – Rotterdam, February 19, 1925) in 1913. After that the complex was extended by Brinkman himself and also by his son’s (Jan Brinkman, Rotterdam, March 22, 1902 – Rotterdam, May 6, 1949) architectural office ‘Brinkman en Van der Vlugt’.
