Interesting Sights

“There is never nothing going on” and “there are no ordinary moments” quotes out of the movie peaceful warrior are a good summary of what I will be telling and showing you here.
If you take a close look at your surroundings - a real look, with your mind focused on it and not your daily worries and troublesome thoughts – you will notice more then you ever have. Just because you are focused on it and not paying attention to your thoughts.
A few of these moments a worth mentioning, because they were so extraordinary and a great deal of fun.

Bicycle Intestines
when I look closely at this saddle it started to look like intestines, spilling out of an open wound. I don’t think it has got long to live.



A Bridge to Far
I tried to get to Rotterdam. I knew that there would be train-travelling delays because of the snow, but I couldn’t have known that a boat was going to ram the bridge. So I took a little longer then expected. The irony of this story is in this sign I saw on the platform:

The sign says: risk of travelling. The bridge you see above the text is the bridge that got rammed.

Slippery Snow
This is what I saw lying in the snow one morning. A weird and unusual sight especially this time of year. I wonder what happened that made this sight came to be. I think that a very cold resistant girl who was so confused and thought it was summer. Wile walking through the snow someone she passed got offended by what she was wearing and started chasing her. She had to flee and in her attempt she lost her slipper.


Burning Astray
Seeing an astray smoke on its own, not needing the smoking smoker is a sight that makes you laugh when you see it on your way home from you night out. Even then, disorientated, hungry and tiered, you wonder what huge cigar was thrown in there to make it burn like that. Or what else could have been down there that could burn and produce this much smoke?


Tub out Back
This bathtub I found in the bushes near my studio. Not only did I think it was terribly funny but I also started to wonder how this bathtub got here. What is a bathtub doing on this abandoned waste processing plant? Who was using it? And what for was it used? You can have a lot of fun with ordinary things, just because they are ripped out of context and/or you are able to create weird, funny, horrible or boring (what ever you want) stories around and about it.


Food Bombardment
This is what I found on the street one Sunday. It was a terribly funny sight, to see a pan imbedded in the pavement and its contend scattered around it. Its glass lit however survived the fall unscarred. Seeing this makes you wonder what might have happened that caused this. Was there a fight about the food? Or was it so bad that it was thrown out? Or maybe the serenade a guy was playing outside was so bad that food with the pan still around it was thrown at him? We will never know what really happened.


The Van of St. Klaas
Why does he ride in the back of a van? Where is his horse? And where are all the kids that normally surround this figure? I had a lot of fun watching him ride by, alone in the back of his cheap looking van.
