GLOW!

Every year in November, Eindhoven, the City of lights, turns into a happy place of installations based on (often artfully) artificial light. It’s fun to make the enormous walking tour (among lots of people who speak my native language “Brabants” ;-) and enjoy some twenty installations.

Shooting in the dark is an adventure in itself, but, as you may know by now, I love a challenge…    

I also made some YouTube impressions because of the sound and movement dimensions:

Paris and “la Géode”

In September we spent a long late summer weekend in Paris.

It was the Ron Mueck’s exhibition and the friendly weather that attracted us. And we were not at all disappointed. Apart from the great art, the impressive architecture, the gardens  and the beautiful variety of people, we were pleasantly surprised by the increase of cyclists in this extraordinary city and the play areas for children along the Seine.

As my photos may show,  I was most excited about  “la Géode”, it was there in all its beauty, simply because of the Magritte-like sky.  

Sometimes you just get lucky!
