Doorn (Utrecht) 2024
Ik keek een tijdje vreemd tegen de tekst aan, totdat ik zag er wrong. Het was logischer geweest om bij de tekst het lint te volgen en de tekst links en rechts ieder andersom te zetten, zodat je het lint volgend leest: Gemeentebestuur van Doorn. Nu moet je onderaan beginnen te lezen naar linksboven om dan met het oog naar rechts van het schild te springen en van rechtsboven naar middenonder verder lezen.
Ik zag dit glas-in-loodraampje in de oudheidkamer van Doorn.

I think that the main tree in this Kaapse bos (Cape forest) is the European or common beech. Alas I am not very knowledgeable on the subjects of plants and trees.
(The name Kaapse bos was given to the area in 1750 by its new owner, mr Hendrik Swellengrebel, who had been governor of the (Dutch) Cape Colony. He found these woods similar to the ones behind Table Mountain near Cape Town, it seems.)

Dit monument herdenkt de papua’s, die samen met Nederlandse militairen vochten tegen de infiltraties van Indonesië, dat eiste dat Nederlands Nieuw-Guinea bij Indonesië zou worden gevoegd. Bij de onafhankelijkheid van Nederlands Indië was Nederlands Nieuw-Guinea buiten de overdracht gehouden. Het monument van wat dichterbij:

Een monument voor het Koninklijk Nederlands-Indisch Leger (KNIL) dat in Nederlands Indië de koloniale macht vestigde en verdedigde - vaak met veel geweld. Voor de goede verstaander is dat hier ook wel uitgebeeld, al bedoelt het monument dit waarschijnlijk als heldhaftig:

Around the globe, conflict is spreading – but it’s too often going ignored. Are we simply overwhelmed by the scale of it?

Victims of Nazi atrocities will be remembered at ceremonies next week marking the end of the second world war in Europe. (...)
The dead of 1939-45 should never be forgotten. But we should also be mindful to count the dead of 2025. To know that in years to come, we will remember, record and honour victims of today’s recurring atrocities. (...)
When confronted by such horrors, silence is unacceptable. Silence is complicity. To remain silent is to suggest nothing has been learned from the past. (...)
Why is this carnage tolerated, even normalised? One proffered reason is the complexity and number of conflicts – the most since 1945. The total has doubled in the past five years. More than 300 million people need humanitarian aid and protection. Yet the UN system, frequently paralysed by major power rivalries, is failing. Its authority is scorned, its envoys sidelined, its peacekeepers attacked, in Lebanon and elsewhere. It is critically under resourced. (...)
People in wealthier, more stable countries appear overwhelmed by the vast extent and sheer awfulness of global breakdown. Anecdotally, many say that faced by relentless tsunamis of upsetting news they simply “switch off”. It’s not that they don’t care. It’s that they feel powerless. Natural disasters still prompt generous responses. (...)
But man-made “forever wars”, and complicated ethnic and religious conflicts in, say, Afghanistan, Syria or Somalia are harder to engage with. (...)
War and conflict are products, not causes, of current world disorder, which is primarily political in origin. Spreading instability stems, partly at least, from political fragmentation, from the ongoing rejection of globalisation and an agreed international rulebook. A rising tide of authoritarian rightwing populism, ultra-nationalism, me-first economics, xenophobic prejudice and fear of difference – as well as an enervating loss of faith, trust and moral purpose – contribute to this depleted sense of connection. (...)
Politically, militarily and morally atrocious behaviour is spreading like a virus, and draws ever closer to home.
