Koninklijk Paleis - Royal Palace

Koninklijk Paleis - Royal Palace
Saturday Self Challenge: architectuur

Op de foto het Koninklijk Paleis op de Dam. De Dam is meestal druk bezocht maar vanwege de coronacrisis is de Dam nu vrijwel leeg. Ondanks de coronacrisis mogen we nog naar buiten, het advies om anderhalve meter afstand van elkaar te bewaren wordt deels wel opgevolgd, maar deels ook niet. Dat laatste valt niet goed te praten, maar het gedrag van sommige Amerikaanse politici is helemaal walgelijk: zij verkochten aandelen voor het instorten van de beurs terwijl zij kennis hadden van de ernst van het coronavirus terwijl dit nog niet algemeen bekend was. Deze mensen verdienen algehele quarantaine voor de rest van hun zielige leven.

Gelukkig zijn er ook goede initiatieven: Het nummer ‘You’ll never walk alone’ werd simultaan uitgezonden door 183 radiostations, op inititiatief van NPO 3FM. voor iedereen die werkt om de gevolgen van de coronacrisis te verzachten en voor iedereen die eronder lijdt. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7CA8ru3PGA

Saturday Self Challenge: architecture

On the photo the Royal Palace on the Dam in Amsterdam. The Dam is under normal circumstances a very busy location in Amsterdam, but now it is nearly completely empty. Although there is a coronacrisis, we can still go outdoors, but it is advised to keep a distance of 1½ meter to each other. Many people do stick to this advice but unfortunately there are also many people who do not. The latter cannot be justified at all. What is reallly despicable is the behaviour of some US politicians: they sold shares just before the exchange collapsed in the knowledge that the coronacrisis would be much worse than publicly known at that time. These people earn nothing more than a complete quarantaine for the remainder of their pity life.

However: there are many, many good initiatives. The song ‘You’ll never walk alone’ is broadcasted simultanously on 183 radiostations, on initiative of the Dutch NPO 3FM, for everybody sho suffers under and for everybody who is working hard to soften the blow of the current coronacrisis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7CA8ru3PGA

An unaccustomed but beautiful sight!
Our federal state has forbidden gatherings of more than 3 people outside because too many idiots still held corona parties...
I didn't know about the share sales but I'm not surprised. A week ago there was the news about Trump trying to buy up the German biotech firm CureVac and make them produce a covid vaccine for the sole use of the US- which he of course denied (strange coincidence that the firm's American CEO was quietly sacked after his meeting with Trump...)

Strange to see the Dam so empty, but I think we must get used to empty roads and places for the next weeks...
I agree with you about the people who profit of these kind of situations to fill up their pockets... they also forget that nobody takes anything when we die...
Stay safe and connected

Überall sträuben sich einige Gruppen vor den Sanktionen.
Ist das Fahrzeug im Vordergrund die Polizei?
Werden bei euch Kontrollen gemacht?!
Die Folgen in Italien sind noch nicht abzusehen...
derzeit darf man nur unter bestimmten Umständen arbeiten
und die Krankenhäuser sind teils völlig überlastet.
Auch in Frankreich ist ein Punkt erreicht, wo einige Patienten
nach Deutschland verlegt werden.
Noch hat man in Deutschland das Kontingent dazu.

A really like this kind of construction - you've captured it nicely! Usually I find there's too many people around attractions like this to get a good shot. Now's our chance, everybody, to get some shots of the attractions without the multitudes getting in the way.

A beautiful architecture, but unfortunately rather attacked by air pollution.
Well taken!

A beautiful building well captured, Diederik! I too am quite upset about how some are attempting to profit from this crisis through insider trading or price gouging on needed supplies. Thankfully, some rules are now in place to shut down profiteers who take advantage of this crisis by hoarding needed supplies and re-selling them for inflated sums of money.
