Giel

These photographs come from the blog of Adrie Broeren-Rip.

Giel grew up in the small community of Kethel in the Netherlands. As a small boy, Giel was always found on Adrie's farm, helping with haying, fattening, milking and feeding the animals. Later on, Giel went to work in the building industry. 

In the 1960's Giel returned to the Kethel environment and was constantly seen on the farm again, doing all sorts of jobs, and always wearing his beret (or in Dutch: alpinopet).
