I have updated my pages about Kepulauan 1000 in Jakarta Bay (P.Onrust, Cipir, Kelor and Bibadari) with some txt.

I also added photo’s of a few VOC buildings in my hometown Amsterdam,
all built with money earned in the Asia and the East Indies.

Viewing your photos of VOC Fort in Jaffna, Sri Lanka was an emotional trip! As a young boy, I used to cycle to the fort with friends, sit on the nearby sandy beach and talk. I imagine my last visit was 45 years ago.

I left Sri Lanka 40 years ago but during life there, the fort served as Jaffna's prison and church inside for inter-denominational services.

Thank you for the rare photos that I have never seen before.
