“Dancing Memories: The Abandoned Bandstand in Volkspark”

Dancing shoes on the willows

‘Few people know that we live in the Volkspark. Who we are? Ghosts of the past.

No creeps though. Just violinists, magicians, rhymers, dandelion fluff blowers, dancers…

Plié and stretch, plié and stretch, how we would have loved to dance to violin music in the bandstand! But it was scrapped in 1946. And never came back.‘

Sometimes a picture says more than 1000 words. We think 1000 is too much of a good thing, but we (or you!) occasionally provide photos of things we encountered with 50 words.

This photo was taken by Marijke Kremer in the Volkspark in Zaandam. We also wonder why that bandstand was never put back.

Also a picture with 50 words? Send them to The Hurricane.
