At Westkapelle, history and landscape meet in powerful ways. On our third day there, we walked from Westkapelle towards Domburg and passed several war monuments — solemn reminders of the tragedy that struck this coastline in WWII. In 1944, Allied forces bombed the dikes to flood the area, a painful but tactical move to hinder German occupation. The cost was immense: many lives were lost, homes destroyed, and communities displaced. Liberation came, but at a heavy price.

Beyond the monuments stands the small but striking Vuurtoren Noorderhoofd (North Head Lighthouse). Painted in vibrant red, it watches over the sea — a beacon of safety, but also a symbol. To me, it represents both remembrance and resilience. We cannot erase the scars of the past, nor should we. They remind us of what unchecked hate, racism, and aggression can bring.

Yet the lighthouse also points forward. Just as its light guides ships to safer waters, so too can memory guide us toward a future built on peace, justice, and vigilance. “Never again” was the promise after WWII — a call not only to remember but to act, wherever injustice rises.

History is not behind us; it’s beside us, shaping every step. Standing there, with the sea winds and the red tower against the horizon, I felt that message deeply: look ahead, but never forget.

I stand before the high altar of the Wittenberg Castle Church, where light dances through colorful stained glass and the stone figures glow in its shine. The Gothic arches frame the scene, and solemn silence fills the space. In this sacred atmosphere, I feel deeply moved by history and reverence.

Ich stehe vor dem Hochaltar der Wittenberger Schlosskirche, wo das Licht durch bunte Glasfenster tanzt und die steinernen Skulpturen im Schein erstrahlen. Die gotischen Spitzbögen rahmen das Relief, während feierliche Stille den Raum durchdringt. In diesem Ambiente fühle ich mich ergriffen von Geschichte und Andacht.

Bathed in golden evening light, the Baroque architecture of Dresden’s Zwinger shines with timeless elegance. The soft glow of the sun highlights every sculptural detail, while the symmetry of the building creates a feeling of balance and grace. A peaceful moment in a place where history and beauty converge.

Here's another shot from the mystical Glendalough Monastic Cemetery, taken during the Wicklow tour on my visit to Ireland. I’m drawn to the mystery and timelessness of graveyards.
