The bronze statue of Major Alida Bosshardt stands, or better yet… sits, on the Oudezijds Voorburgwal, in front of the “Salvation Army” building. Made by artist Peter de Leeuwe in 2013 as a tribute to her years of service to the vulnerable. 🙏😊

Born on June 8, 1913, in Utrecht, and passing on June 25, 2007, in Amsterdam, Bosshardt was a key “Salvation Army” figure. During WWII, she helped Jewish children and later supported sex workers and the homeless in the Red Light District. 🏮

Her efforts earned national recognition, including the title ‘Righteous Among the Nations’ from “Yad Vashem” in 2004. 🎖️

The amazing village of Pennan, set on a shelf below north-facing cliffs on the north Aberdeenshire coast and still famous for its role in the 1983 film Local Hero. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/pen

The amazing village of Pennan. The image shows a view along the sea wall with a concrete path on top of it. There's a stony beach to the left descending to the sea, which looks blue under a clear blue sky. To the right is a grassy strip and posts for hanging clothes, then a road and the white cottages and houses of the village. The land rises steeply behind the village and there's a large headland in the background.

villaggio di Pennan
A row of whitewashed houses with red-tiled roofs lines the shore of a small cove. A low, concrete seawall runs in front of the houses. Behind the houses, a grassy hillside rises steeply. The calm water of the cove is visible in the foreground, with rocks covered in green algae along the shoreline and a sandy beach between the wall and the water. The sky is overcast and grey.A blue and white fishing boat labeled "FR 607" is docked in front of several white houses with blue window frames. A smaller blue and white inflatable boat named "Navigator II" sits on a trailer in front of the larger vessel. A grassy hill with a reddish cliff face is visible in the background.

It's 10:30. I haven't quite finished cooking dinner. I'm a bit tipsy and fed up. It's near the end of one year and the beginning of another. Can I?

Perhaps Scotland's most famous phone box, in the beautiful village of Pennan on the north Aberdeenshire coast. The one actually used in the film "Local Hero", which was partly made in the village in 1983, was a prop placed nearby. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/pen

The image shows a red telephone box and post box on the right of the frame, with some white plastic tables and chairs on a quayside across the lower quarter of the frame. In the background is a blue sea with breaking waves and rockyheadlands on the left. The sky is mainly blue.

Ist zwar kein #LocalHero, aber hier Simanowsky Hörgeräte. Überlege, ob ich die mit Hinweis auf die neue Rubrik in die Local-Hero-Liste aufnehmen sollte🤔#festundflauschig
