Today was the day i was waiting for a long time. The weather last couple o weeks was horrible, when the sun was shining i was at work. Today i took an advantage and I had 2h walk on the beach. Perfect time and weather for doing that.

Each time Im seeing kite surfers Im like: “why the hell Im not trying it?”. It’s calling me since few years. Then I’ve a short conversation with one of the dudes and i do know whats stop me. Today, while i was photographing one guy asked me if i also do kite [he wanted help with the kite] i said: “no, but ive question for you. How difficult it is?”. He said: “u need to know how to do this”… Obviously… [face palm].

All for the i n f i n i t y

*24s to the infinity

It become quite an inner joke, that the most people who are visiting the Voorlinden Museum, visiting it only for one selfie. Or… how many pictures u can take in 24sec?

I took few, played around with the space. Most of the pictures which u see here are taken at this exhibition are my visual expression, maybe even hidden story about it. And finally I’ve a chance to see works of Louise Bourgeois [one of my favourite artists].

This weekend we finally went to Limburg (South of the Netherlands] to see Basquiat’s exhibition at SCHUNCK. “SCHUNCK” situated in Heerlen at the heart of the Euroegion, is a new multidisciplinary institute devoted to contemporary visual art, architecture, music, literature and film. Which contains all imaginable crossovers between the disciplines. Manifested by means of presentations, collections and educational projects”.

Perfect place for this exhibition but… it was so boring. The person who’s designed it didn’t do much. I was so disappointed. The designer could go for anything here to show Basquiat’s works in unique way but ended up making just as normal presentation as possible and situated few “window holes” in the walls to show some pictures of NYC [Time Square Exhibition].[Besides Basquiat’s works you can see collective works of other artists of NYC’s scene]. You can check it yourself until June 2nd. I’m curious your opinion.

Heerlen is also famous for its graffiti/murals placed around the city. We had a nice walk follow some instructions from https://streetartheerlen.nl/ you can also check it out while waiting for a rain. Next stop was Maastricht and its unique vibe and craft beer cafe’s and one small micro brewery which we had a chance to visit.

w h e n in Rotterdam

Few shots from lovely Rotterdam. For those of you who’s never been here, Rotterdam is a different state of mind. A unique city in this small country. U will not be surprised why we called it “R’NYC” 😉

Ive had a chance to look at this city from different perspective, visited friend’s house with astounding view, and had a lovely gals night.

There is an expression in dutch ‘Huisje-boompje-beestje’ symbolizes leading a nice and quiet conventional family life. You have a nice house (‘huisje’), a garden (‘boompje’) and probably a pet (‘beestje’).
Here we have a beer “biertje” all beer fans united 😉

When I t snows (Dutch version)

Its has been looong time when I’ve been here for the last time.

Social media overwhelmed me recently, but there is never enough for photography. Especially I’ve so many things to share here with you. Photo diary should play its role. Will do my best to be here more often.

Thank you all of you for visiting my Woman World! I really appreciate it!

I don’t know if you guys know but The Netherlands is sometimes quite bizarre country. We have here rain for more than 200 days per year, but when it comes to snow, this country is paralyzed, gigantic traffics, trains being cancelled, no public transportation. But this always has a bright side, a walk! Today I was visiting Delft. I took few pictures before my phone died.

Some still-life’s here

Ringen aan zee, Uncategorized

Ringen aan zee / Rings by the sea

The iconic beach landscape “Ringen aan zee” by Bruno Doedens.

Twenty sand rings of approximately 150 by 300 meters were built up on 12 February 2018 by two silver-colored excavators. Based on GPS, the machines ‘see’ where and how to dig. After more than a week, the first, inner rings were visible – are no less than two and a half meters high. To the outside, the rings are getting lower, up to 1.20 meters. It is estimated that the 150 by three-hundred-meter sand artwork was completely finished after two weeks.

The twenty rings represent 200 years of bathing culture at Scheveningen – The Hague. Sand, wind, air, water. Like nature itself, the artwork will not look exactly the same for a day.
