For me very intriguing but still strange work: Marc Bijl is a Dutch artist who lives and works in Berlin. His works are based upon social issues and their use of symbols and rules. This can result in interventions in the public space, sculptures or installations that undermine or underline this perception of the world.

In one of the exhibition halls there was work based on the “pentagon” a unique mathematical figure, the root to the famous golden ratio, Pythagoras, religious symbol and a lot more!!

In some of the pentagons he used bits and pieces of mirrors!!

In the photo you see a lot of reflections, on the left hand, you can discover partly my wife Déanne with a handbag and the legs are the mirror image of my legs (LOL)

Hope you like this upload as a different angle to all your wonderful reflection uploads!!

If you like to know more about the pentagons and Marc Bijl, please search the internet, Wikipedia for instance!!

Tara it must be fantastic to drive around in your motor home with a quilt like this, are you the kind of people indicating on a map on the door of your motor home which states you have visited so far? it made me always very jaleous to see motor homes with a lot of states of the US coloured!!

Hi Mies

Yes I was born in The Hague and lived in The Hague untill I had to do my militairy service!! We were living in Benoordenhout, not far away from Scheveingen. I'm comming from the "sand" Zand gronden from the Hague, so I'm a Hagenaar! (if you come from the "peat soil" veengronden from the Hague, you are a Hagenees)

We lived in Amsterdam/ Amstelveen for about 15 years and now we live for more then 20 years in Voorhout, near Leiden.

Is about 250 Kilometers driving from were you live in Limburg, at least Maastricht is about 250 road Km's from Voorhout.

The Hague is not far away from Voorhout, for serious shopping we still go back to our roots, but we  go often to The Hague, we do like it there!!

I like your "Green Green Gras" of your Limburg home ...." an old song a believe !!  LOL  !! upload!!

Groetjes

Henk

Fit for purpose in the June challenge?

Take care

Henk

It was not a little snake in my honest opinion, about 1.5 meter tall, bbbbrrrr I still have "chicken skin" on my arms!! I'am not sure, but I believe it is a python, certainly not a poisonous snake!!

This one was rather friendly and had a very special color, I think he or she is an albino, but is rather yellow  ………… fit for purpose in the June challenge?

A sunny challenge we can use in my part of Holland, we just have had 2 days with more than a lot of rain!!

Take care

Henk
