Also happened in our humble but homey - fort 8 - space:
In the midst of night, Yana and I made a simple stop-motion film with some help of an overhead projector and color filters. The image slowly builds up to a copy of the brick ceiling (at least we took a shot at it).

faller landscapes

These are paintings by the hand of Joachim Patinir (c. 1480 – 1524), a Flemish Northern history and landscape painter. Patinir was propably the first painter who saw himself making independent landscapes, instead of biblical scenes in which the landscape only played a decorative function. As you can judge from the miniature scale of the figures, Patinir fiercely tried to reduce the biblical connotation to the minimum. The painting below, titled 'Flight into Egypt', is part of the collection of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp and can be admired there every day. Do not get fooled by this reproduction, the small dimensions in contrast with the painfully accurate details make that you never get tired of looking at this masterwork. A perfect scenery for some Faller trains if you ask me!

a pack of trees

I love how trees and their branches move in the wind - so full of color.
I tried to capture their diversity and subtle movements in pictures.

picture domino

Monday, Yana made a route from point A (Fort 8) - to point B (centre of Hoboken). I followed her red chalk marks and red ribbons. In the end, we both walked the same route with the intention of hunting the same pictures. Funny to see how our 55mm lenses actually came across the same trivialities... with a stack of cards as result. Time to play a domino and/or memory game with them!
