Traditional clothing Zeeuws Vlaanderen

I live in the country site at the Dutch delta in the province of Zeeland.
There were land was gained from the water, sometimes the water.
took back the land. Where I live the water swallowed in 1953 a lot of
victims. In the weapon shield this province has a Lion inside the water.
On the banner is written, “Luctor et Emergo” which means:
“I struggle and get up again”. Tradition is something the elder people still
cherish and a lot of older people still ware their traditional clothes.
Last weekend was a traditional market, with people who worn their
tomorrow, yesterday and some even the trade of those ages ago.
Their head ware is silver or gold and their necklaces made of red coral.
Farmers went from this countryside to the United States for agriculture.
You can find all pictures of the clothing inside my gallery map: Zeeland.

Aqua1955

Ik leef op het platte land in de Nederlandse delta in de provincie Zeeland.
Hier is het land gewonnen van het water, maar af en toe pakte het water het
land terug. Daar waar ik leef overspoelde het water in 1953 vele slachtoffers.
In het wapenschild van de provincie staat een leeuw in het water.
Op het banier is geschreven, “Luctor et Emergo” hetgeen betekend: “Ik worstel en kom boven”. Traditie is iets dat deze mensen nog steeds hoog in
Vaandel hebben staan en zodoende dragen nog vele ouderen hun traditionele
klederdracht. Verleden weekend was er een traditionele markt, met mensen die
hun huidige, dat van morgen en sommigen zelfs eeuwenoude kleding droegen.
De hoofdkappen zijn versiert met zilver of goud en hun kettingen van rood koraal.
Veel boeren zijn vanuit deze streek naar Amerika gegaan voor de landbouw
De foto’s van de klederdrachten staan allemaal in de gallerij map: Zeeland.

i like their motto "i struggle and getback up agian" sound like my life, i can really relate.

Artist Reply: Don't we all struggle Mike. Everybody has to walk his or her path in life. Only chasing your dreams will sometimes maybe not be, but still keep them and once they become reality. It's just like me. People wanted me to make a booklet of my poems. I kept it as my dream and in 2006 it was there...
