Place in the World – Music

The weekly theme is ‘place in the world’. Where do you belong?

Images of the place I live, my place(s) in the world. One is a bit hard to grasp: music. ‘Place in the world’ brought me immediately to In My Place by Coldplay. Can this song be about flowers?
Last month, exploring the flower fields with tulips near my village (place), I came across this setting.  Taking this photo, the power lines and the lonely house set the atmosphere; the flowers are almost gone, some are still there. Flowers come and go, and you have to wait another year for them, but singing flowers? Well, it checks boxes, but not all of them. Perhaps I cross lines I should not cross? Do enjoy the song and the photo.

In My Place – Coldplay
In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn’t change
I was lost

I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn’t have crossed
I was lost

Yeah how long must you wait for it?
Yeah how long must you pay for it?
Yeah how long must you wait for it?

I was scared, I was scared
Tired and under prepared
But I wait for it

If you go, if you go
Leave me down here on my own
Then I’ll wait for you (yeah)

Yeah how long must you wait for it?
Yeah how long must you pay for it?
Yeah how long must you wait for it?

Sing it, please, please, please
Come back and sing to me, to me, me
Come on and sing it out, now, now
Come on and sing it out, to me, me
Come back and sing it

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn’t change
And I was lost

Story of “Hope”

The weekly theme is ‘story’.

This old wind mill from 1783 has its own story. Its name, ‘De Hoop Doet Leven’,  is a Dutch saying: meaning hope brings or gives life. Till 1999 the mill was part of the water management of a polder near Rijnsburg. It was too close to the new build of flower auction Royal Flora Holland, and the auction paid for its removal to this new spot. It is still working as a museum to the public.
