- NUMMER ACHT – EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT BY GUIDO VAN DER WERVE -

- IT’S THE LAST DAY OF 2011.  TIME TO TAKE STOCK.  I’VE NOW LIVED IN HOLLAND FOR A COLLECTED 2 1/2 YEARS.  ENOUGH TIME TO START TO BECOME A PART OF THE LANDSCAPE, TO DISCOVER SOME OF THE PERIPHERY SPACES THAT GIVE CONTEXT TO THE BIG PICTURE HERE.

WITH THIS COMES ANOTHER LAYER OF PERSPECTIVE.  THE PLACES I’VE COME FROM.  I WON’T BORE THE INTERNET WITH MY PHILOSOPHICAL RAMBLINGS.  INSTEAD I’VE COLLECTED HERE SOME PHOTOGRAPHS OF WATERFALLS FROM HAMILTON, A CITY VERY NEAR TO MY HOME TOWN.  IT’S ALSO KNOWN AS STEEL TOWN.  MAYBE EVEN THE STEEL CAPITOL OF CANADA.  SEEMS IRONIC A PLACE NICKNAMED ‘HAMMER TOWN’ WOULD ALSO BE THE WATERFALL CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.  MAYBE IT’S TIME FOR A REBRANDING.

ABOVE ARE A SELECTION OF SOME OF THE MORE THAN 100 WATERFALLS THAT CAN BE FOUND IN THE AREA(SUPPOSEDLY 141 AS OF 2010).  AS WELL AS THIS LINK TO A COMPARATIVE COLLECTION OF WATERFALLS AS THEY APPEARED IN THE LAST CENTURY AND AS THEY ARE NOW  -
