Storm is coming

Storm is coming over Elba. The storm clouds hunt the ferry down and will soon role over it. It was between the Italian mainland and this mystic island, by the way on a beautiful summer’s day. It is one of those moments in life when seeking shelter and safety for this storm and rain was really urgent and factually last second. It was short but fierce.

It is always on this evening – the 31st of January – when I remember my father’s stories on the evening when the raging storm in 1953 arrived in our hometown, Halsteren. It brought over miles of land the sea (5 meter high) only a few hundreds of meters from his house, taking peoples houses, farms and life’s. He would ride out that night to help and rescue.

Connected

In the old town of Hondarribia, Spain, this fine wiring pattern forms the infrastructure for connecting streets, houses and people. Quite a palette. Straight forward and essential.

Two Neighbours

In the old center of Verona we came along this palette of two neighbours. Number 8 and number 10. It is almost a painting where materials tell their stories.

Verona classic

During I visit to the inner city of Verona this classic wall we passed in a small street. Quit a colour palette. Authentic. It is almost a form of art. The balance of its geometrics gives peace of mind.  Just this piece of wall.

In focus

Being in focus is important. Here it is about the telescope not about the object. A small ode. This perspective was taken on a hot summer’s day from the cliff in Bournemouth.
