Wall Art

Wall Art in itself can be a true added value. Here I watched a wall in the city of Domburg, Zeeland, The Netherlands. The palette of the baked clay brick tones is impressive in itself. It is where the art of the wall meets and merge with wall art.

The Circus

The Circus in the city of Bath is a historic ring of large townhouses, forming a circle with three entrances. It is architecturally spoken a form of art, putting living in a circle in a new (geometrical) dimension. The brownish colour palette is unique on this summers day.

Infrastructure & Information

Information about the city infrastructure can be found on every wall and every corner. Signs which tell us a lot about in this case the underground. Sometimes the palette can be almost a form of art. The blue, silver and white send quietness in composition.

Track & Trace

The streets of the city are full of signs to tell us how to navigate and where to find essential elements of the architecture how we build our communities, especially here about how to track and trace the gas pipeline. It is almost a peace of art.

Well, step back 1,3 meter from the wall and step 40 cm to the right. If you want to visit this part of the underground world of the city –  for reason of maintenance or development – dig here and find the gas pipeline, which connects this house to the world wide web. Smart it is. Art too.

A bath in Bath

There are cities where even the name is inclusive to its brand and gestalt. The city of Bath, Somerset, is famous for its well preserved Roman baths, which were built around 60 AD. It is a place of spa, still.

Maybe this identity has brought this city towards its present skyline. It is an unique cityscape. The contrast of more than 2000 years of history and the group of swimmers anno 2020 is caught in this one image. It are the light contrasts on this hot summer evening in the city which give the photo a special reflective flavour.
