January 19: Tens of thousands of people marched in Washington, D.C., today for issues ranging from gender equality to the war in Gaza. The common denominator: opposition to the upcoming Trump presidency, which is due to begin on Monday. Trump has promised “retribution” against his opponents and critics once he is in office.

March 29: A partial solar eclipse surprises many of the residents of the Hague, Netherlands. 

April 12: Flowers made of flowers and shoes made of wood were the stars at the Dutch flower parade today, the highlight of the country’s flower season. The Netherlands’ flower industry is world famous and a big part of its agriculture and landscape — and this parade, which covers a marathon distance in 12 hours, is a full-throated celebration of it.

The town of Baarle-Nassau/Baarle-Hertog is split between Belgium and the Netherlands – many times over. Over thirty exclaves create an incredibly complex border situation, including the world’s smallest double exclave – a piece of the Netherlands in a piece of Belgium in the Netherlands. The border goes through houses, shops and even the local police station; officers need to be on their respective country’s territory to conduct official tasks. This is one of the most fascinating border oddities I have ever visited. If you want to see more, check out my 1st Netherlands highlights reel.

The Maeslantkering is the world’s largest door. Two wings, each more than 200 meters long and weighing 680 tonnes, can be swiveled to completely block off the river, protecting the port of Rotterdam and the lowest-lying parts of the Netherlands from devastating storm surges. It’s just one part of a series of fortifications collectively known as the Delta Works, which ensure that the Netherlands (a third of which lies below sea level) don’t flood and stay inhabitable instead.
