Montserrat
Breathless High Beauty.
The Montserrat mountain in Catalunya was not exactly what I was expecting. A strong Disneyland feeling with every attraction a shop and far more attention to the religiosity of the place than the beauty, the geology or the nature of the mountain.

Peeping through the forest
Linking visual ideas.
Here the example from one of the photos that my digital friend Els ten Napel send me of her new art work. I made an immediate link to another recent photo of mine. Probably a link that only her and I can see.

Apologies with a view
Mexico City:
From my studio a view of the Ajusco Mountain.
A sunset from my studio.
One of the more than monumental flags around the city as seen from my studio.
A church atrium in Coyoacan.
A policeman organizing the morning traffic in front of a school.
Children enjoying themselves on Sunday at the Centro Nacional de las Artes.
Part of my Mexico routine.
Cocoyoc, Morelos:
A new house covering it's view of the magnificent Tepozteco.
Field with the Popocatepetl at a distance.
A sensous nopal of opuntia plant with fruit.
After two months in Mexico and having visited plenty of beautiful places, taking lots of photographs and having many stories to tell on the blog I had been just nearly unable to do it. My laptop is old and slow, the internet connection I 'borrow' from a neighbour I don't know is really slow (terribly slow!) and I stayed the last two weeks at a great place but with not internet at all. I feel like being censored at a 100% rate.

On the other hand all the drawing and reading I had been doing makes me feel really satisfied.
I am very thankful to Maria Ikonomopoulou to keep the blog-fire alive with art from The Netherlands, Greece and others.
All my regards, Marisa

Art in public spaces 9, The Boulevard
An early winter morning at the Boulevard of Scheveningen, The Hague
A moving sculpture by Gerard Bakker (1982) of a worried town lady waiting for the fishermen.
Inscription: For those who left and never came back.
A lonely sculpture on top of the dyke.
Inscription: The marine saved us.
Inscription: God saved The Netherlands.
All art works in The Hague. To see more photos.

Ice and Fire irony
What a sad irony that the same days that many Dutch people had been happily crazy about the ice and skating are exactly the same days that the Israeli army and Hamas had been fighting in Gaza!
Could the war stop as fast and certain as the melting ice?

Other rests than Christmas trees.
It is not nice what I found on the green area in front of my home apart from the dying Christmas trees:
-Plenty of 'dog digested food'. I won't be graphic and will try to keep it short , but I have more than 100 photo examples. No dog owner ever walks here, they know very well what they can find. I had only seen once someone using the plastic bag. The city government answered to me that that is not a problem!
-Many remains (litter) of fire work. There is a strong Dutch tradition of chaotic and dangerous citizen's use of fire works on New Years' Eve, together with not cleaning after.
-A dead dove, maybe killed by a firework.
I post this with a lot of doubts, but sometimes you have to say it.
