Doel

Doel, a little village in Belgium near the Dutch border.
A quiet lovely place situated between the harbor of Antwerpen and a nuclear plant.
Who was first, the village or the nuclear power-station.
And what was the influence of the harbor on politics.
The harbor of Antwerp wants to be bigger and money wins always so.....
The inhabitants had to leave and under protest a few of them stayed and fight.
A unique place but too close to the harbor and the factory!
The graffiti on the walls express their feelings.
In july 2014 there was a sabotage in the nuke factory.
It had to close down for several days.
Happily for the Belgium and Dutch people no danger this time, because the sabotage was dicovered early.

There are so many that are gut wrenching mirroring the feelings of the affected residents. Again, Wim this gallery needs to be a published book.

This gallery eloquently expresses the mood of the former inhabitants. Your images are important and are worthy of a book so that the people remember. Big Vote

What an interesting gallery Wim! I enjoyed it.
Carol E Sandgren20-Nov-2012 22:32
What an expressive collection of images to document this little town! Very arresting gallery...we can all feel their pain through the artwork that really does tell the story. Opening with that first image of the windmill with the nuke plant is a particularly disturbing reality. So very well done!

I echo Dan's words here ~ V+
Dan Greenberg17-Nov-2012 14:26
An astounding body of delightful, dramatic, perfectly toned images. You have really told the story of this little village that I am certain is not photographed often and definitely not this well. ~VVV~

Excellent dramatic imagery made with great feeling and skill. V.

A very interesting and creative project. Awesome images, Wim, love these series. BV

A very moving set of images. I feel so sad for the those who had to leave their homes and have admiration for those who stayed to fight. The artwork is superb.

Very effective in bringing home the message of what happened to this village. Powerful work. V
