Art

 In Nagele I noticed these black mysterious figures in the grass.

The only information I could find is their name "Pouled out of the clay". It reminds of the origin of the polder I suppose.

Nagele

 Not a real "mural", but for me it will do. A piece of art hanging on the wall of the Museum in Nagele I visited last weekend. It symbolizes the draining of the North East polder and the building  of a new village. Linking to "Monday Mural"

Memory Lane

 We payed a visit at the village Nagele. 

Nagele arose as a concept village between 1954 and 1974 in the Noordoostpolder (today the province of Flevoland). Avant-garde architectural groups 'De 8' and 'Opbouw' were able to express their ideas from the 1930s about modern urban planning in the design of this residential core for farm workers.

There was a house furnised with the original furniture of the fiftees. That was as if I stepped back in my own past, the same chairs, stove and the drying rack with laundry in front of the coal stove.

A rattan chair I had in my bedroom.

I also had a folding bed with curtain to make room in the small bedroom.

The games I played, Monopoly and Puzzles and my brother had Meccano.
