Dutch Delights!

"Tulpen Uit Amsterdam"


Holland is a small country on the northern west coast of Europe, bordered to the north by the Waddenzee, to the east by The Federal Republic Of Germany, to the south by Belgium and to the west by the North Sea. We have a population of approximately 15.5 million people. We have our own Royal Family whose last name is "van Oranje". To see our lovely Queen, Her Royal Majesty Queen Beatrix van Oranje, as she was when she was crowned, click on the portrait image for a link to the full scale photo. If you want to know more about our future King and the rest of the members of our extensive royal family, please click on the portrait of His Royal Highness Prince Willem Alexander van Oranje.



When I was 5 years old, I lived in the then still Dutch colony of Suriname on the north coast of South America. Princess Beatrix, as she still was then, visited the colonies and I had the destinct honor of personally greeting our present Queen, as the picture below shows. This photograph is also the "doorway" to my own PERSONAL PHOTOGRAPHS GALLERY
taken in Holland, with some typically Dutch scenes for your enjoyment. Just place your cursor on "Princess" Beatrix or me (the little Dutch girl who's giving her flowers) and click..



If you want to "visit" and explore Holland some more by way of your computer, then click on this wooden shoe logo, which serves as a search engine to as much information as you could possibly hope to obtain about my beloved country. Is your thirst for information still not quenched; click on our National Dutch Weapon (Lion).



Those who are planning trip to Holland, might find the Royal Netherlands Embassy a vast source of valuable information.



The Holland Hyperbanner is so much more than "just" a banner. See what all they have to offer:

My "pet" charity is FOSTER PARENTS PLAN - NEDERLAND! Since December 1980 I have been a Foster Parent and I was a volunteer worker for 2 years, coordinating the Utrecht region. This logo links to their Dutch and international site:



There are so many "Worthwhile Causes", that the fortunate among us have an obligation towards those who need our help desperately. By clicking on "Jacob's Ladder" you will be linked to a Dutch page with a list of such institutions well worth your time, effort and attention. God Bless You and Keep You Safe from harm's way!



To be very clear; the sites this page links you to are not mine or made by me, with exception of the "Personal Photographs Gallery" page! Neither do I receive any financial benefits or compensation from these sitelinks. They are solely intended as informative and for YOUR viewing pleasure only!
