(0001) 4 october 1974 Bergen op Zoom, negative number 0001 the start of thousands of photographs. Today no more films. Only digital images but again with Nikon cameras. Although the start was with old Ricoh, Agfa and a Rolleicord before the first Nikkormat came in. All four are still alive and functionable. See what has changed in the European railway world. Coal has disappeared since that time. No more local deliveries with freightcars. Bergen op Zoom has no rail connection to its industry anymore. Road and shipping have won the battle supported by shortsighted (local) politicians. Railways are no longer shipping agents. They allowed themselves to degrade to run mostly vast amounts from terminal to terminal for third parties. -

24 August 2004. near Bai Qi Inner Mongolia, China. Things are changing so fast we in the west can hardly imagine. Within a year this 960 kilometer highway was build and ready. It will hit the number of passengers going by rail. Even on China s new highways (to) much freight is already being moved. A huge oil hunger is being created. -

Lawang Sewu Semarang is an old office building in Semarang, Central Java, which is the office of the former Nederlands-Indische Maatschappij or NIS Spoorweg. Built in 1904 and completed in 1907. The monument is located on the roundabout that used to be called Wilhelminaplein.
Local people call it Lawang Sewu (Thousand Doors) because the building looks like having many doors. In fact the windows are high and wide and look like doors from a distance.
