(Other) Interests & Passions
As mentioned in a specific chapter I believe in my seven P`s: people, planet, profit, passion, principles, pleasure and... priority. See some pictures in "Photography`.
First of all I grew up -thanks to my nature loving parents Cor Denneman & Anneliese Heilscher- as a passionate adept of nature in general and animals, forests and waters in particular. For that reason I joined as a boy Scouting Nederland. At that time it was called `padvinderij`.
As an active member of a `roedel van wolven en welpen` and some years later as a dedicated member of `de verkenners` I built up leadership skills in the fields and forests and was seeking for recognition as well including rewards (`insignes, sterren & strepen`).
When I was young I loved hiking & biking, swimming & twinning, judo, surviving in the forests, shooting, constructing airplanes & trains, scenery/landscapes at 1 : 87 (scale HO.
Nowadays I practice and love:
- nature in general, flora and fauna in particular (including hunting as an active KNJV-member)
- sports (limited by sky dive accidents); in particular: hiking, biking, swimming, Dutch billiard
- long distance shooting with special sniper rifles as an active member of `Nationaal Jachtschietcentrum Berkenhorst`
- history (`la historia indígena en particular`) & culture (ceramics & silver in particular)
- architecture; ancient monumental buildings in particular
- photography
- scenery (landscapes and trains) at scales 1: 220 (scale Z), 1 : 87 (scale HO) and 1 : 32 (scale 1)
- traveling (> Belgium, Germany, France, Turkey, Ghana, Central & South America in particular)
- Indian, Chinese & Japanese philosophy, spirituality and esoterics in general (since 1979)
- freemasonry (since 2004)
- epigrams
- hedonic lifestyle (harvesting/collecting, cooking, eating, drinking, cigars; `aficionado`)
