Out of waste the theme park "De Spelerij / De Uitvinderij" is made by the artist Jos Spanbroek (1937 - August 2024) and his wife. More than once I visited it and I did again on a rainy Monday. A good thing was that it stopped raining as we intended to go.
By now the youngest is an adult and not much has changed except for the fact it is fall and the park is only open during the weekend and on Mondays.
It turned out there was no need to pay (no little children) so we had a look after a talk with some employers. Jos passed away and was still working on a project and it's not clear yet how the park will continue.

How about Paul I informed. Paul is the one with the happy sculptures I showed before.

Yes, I went to visit Paul Wegman again to inform about his art. He isn't willing to sell it and creates a new one if he has no car repairs. He told me he never intend to join an exposition, he doesn't care about fame or money. Kind of perplex he was as I told him his creations made me feel happy.

In "De Spelerij" (the playground) manpower is used instead of electricity. If you like to make something to work you should run, bicycle, push and so on. Is this park nearly 60 years old still interesting for children who rarely set a foot outside and are raised by screens?
It is and the same counts for adults.

Today it's also used for a day out with work.
Outside is a pool, it's possible to bake bread and popcorn. It's a great place for schoolexcursions and birthday parties.

Schrootstrijd (Scrap battle) is meant for adults (a corporate event, bachelor party, friends, etc)

@pennsif I added the link to this post can you tell me if this is okay or should I post the empty sheet with title as well if I go for manually?

Thank you for using Steem Atlas.

For more information about posting on Steem Atlas check out our Curation Guidelines...


This has worked perfectly just like this - no need for the additional post.

Thank you for your respond but if I add a post manually this means an empty post is showing. Is that normal? If I mute it what will happen?
I have to keep Steem Atlas loaded to be able to pin a spot but it's a hell of a job. If more time I will see if I can find the posts of travels I shared. Thanks for answering and a great Sunday.

The easiest way currently is to create your post as normal on steemit.com.

Then go to Steem Atlas, click on the icon to add a pin...
steem-atlas-add-pin-icon.png

Then zoom in on the map to find the specific location that your post is about, then click on that location, and the posting box will come up.

All you need to do there is fill in the Pin Description - that will be what shows up when someone subsequently hovers over your pin.

Then click on the Copy Location Code box at the bottom...

Then you take that code back to your post on steemit.com, open your post to edit and paste in that code from Steem Atlas at the bottom of your post.

Then save your post again.

Your pin and your post will then be automatically added to Steem Atlas in a few minutes.


Will be releasing a new version of Steem Atlas in the next few days that will make this all a lot easier.

Thanks, I partly did it this way with the only exception I have a post with 2 codes in it (nearly the same codes) but if you can see it it worked.
I give it a try asap I have some posts to add.

I wonder if the post is written in Steem Atlas should markdowns be used and does that post show somewhere since it feels it doesn't (I had a look at irawandedy).

I swear I saw some of these on a horror themed video game before. It was where a girl got lost on an old, abandoned kiddie theme park at night!

I am curious about that game! Any idea how old it is? The story sounds like IT. Pity I can't ask the artist any longer
There's nothing creepy here, just fun and inside is even better.

It was maybe Silent Hill 3 on the PS2 or one of these in this list:

Thanks. I let someone dig into it. I couldn't find a info about it as I searched the internet only German reviews on the park.

Peace & Love!

Congratulations!!🎉🎉 Your post has been upvoted by TEAM 03 (content seekers) using steemcurator05. Continue making creative and quality content on the blog. By @damithudaya

Thank you. Pity you do not leave a comment. I remember I asked you about it once before @damithudaya. I guess you did not read what @steemitblog asked from SC either. Such a pity you don't take time to connect.

🍀♥️

@saintkelvin17 and I did #comment & #upvote. No one cares any longer? ☹️

Well, I do not use Steemcurator account to comment on the posts. For that I have my personal account. With the time I have, along with the poor internet connection in my current area, I manage to connect, post and other things as much as possible.

Anyway, the above work is really extraordinary. Turning waste in to something useful move, yet along a theme park, is something creative. I remember once we used metals, and vehicle parts to create a robot( not a working one, just to showcase,) in my university!

Actually, it was what the Steemit Team asked the SC of October to do! To comment and engage and not only uovote and leave the team picture behind. So that's why I wonder why except for one SC no one else does.

It indeed is great how waste can be reused. I noticed that in this themepark a lot of expansion vessels for central heating/water are used. I wonder how many of them are thrown away per year. 🤔

Do you have a picture of that robot?

Sure we did 🫡
