An art exhibit in the municipal building of Middelburg. It was made out of giant inflatable transparent beachballs, held together by black plastic industrial binding material. I liked the contrast of modern art in a monumental building.

Sorry for the lack of frequent updates lately, but more important matters are keeping me really busy. I’m planning and preparing our move to the new house in less than a month, my sister is getting married, while my girlfriends dad has some serious health issues. It’s kinda hecktic ;)

Been away for a while for some time off with my girlfriend. We stayed at my parents place in Bergen op Zoom, while they were away for a family visit up north. This is part of the view from their balcony.

A quick impression of Bevrijdingspop 2007 in Haarlem, a public music festival as part of nationwide festivities to commemorate the day we were liberated from the Germans in 1945.

As you can see the air was really dusty. We’ve had some crazy dry and warm weather here over the last three weeks which turned the grass from the park into a huge sandbox. Add a few thousand people partying and this is the result. I’m still coughing and sneezing up black dust, but it was fun!

Shot with my Ixus, which is acting up and reporting memory card errors. Some of my pics even got corrupted. This one is pretty much the only one that was undamaged :(

Shot this weekend in the Haarlemmerhout park in Haarlem. We had exceptionally nice weather for this time of year, around 25-28 degrees celsius. Had a nice and lazy afternoon in the park with my girlfriend, and a nice glass of wine.
