Netherlands, Leiden, Grand Parade October 3 celebrations, October 4, 2010
The siege of Leiden, October 3 - the Grand Parade, part of the October 3 festivities in Leiden, commemorating the siege of Leiden during the Eighty Years' War in 1573 and 1574, when the Spanish attempted to capture the rebellious city of Leiden and ultimately failed.
October 3 is celebrated every year in Leiden. It is a huge party, with an enormous funfair and the Grand Parade, each year with another theme.
It is fun and a wonderful opportunity to observe the spectators, participants and the musicians of the several bands in the Parade.

October 3 is celebrated every year in Leiden. It is a huge party, with an enormous funfair and the Big Parade, each year with another theme.
Since it was Sunday on October 3, the festivities took place on October 4.
Pernis /1
Netherlands, Pernis, September 29, 2010
Some days ago I went to Pernis, a small village under the smoke of Rotterdam,
surrounded by ports and petrochemical industry. It has no special attractions, it is not beautiful and yet I wanted to go and visit it. I always associated Pernis with bad smells coming from the petrochemical industry, which made life in nearby Vlaardingen where I grew up, less pleasant and wondered what kind of place it was. So it was time to go and visit Pernis.
This series is a first impression, which shows nothing of the village itself. That must wait for another visit.
