Blankenberge

Some time ago we went to Blankenberge for a weekend. While my wife was attending a congres, I took the time to take some scenery snapshots of the beach very early in the morning. It wasn’t summertime and at 9am there is not much action going on yet.

Here you see an image of the Pier, it’s renovated some years ago. The original construction dates back from 1894 and the idea of came over the canal from GB. In Brittain the art of building piers for fun and leasure had become a real expertise. Before that piers were mainly build to aid in unloading ships that were too big to approach the docks.
The Germans burned it down during the WWOI. In 1933 it was rebuild and all was well until “rot” was discovered in the concrete and the needed renovation started in 1999. The hit from the purple rain prince, hence my choice of colour layering... No not really Winking

Concert Pictures Apropo

On 18 and 19th of May 2007 Apropo organised its yearly concert. All students and teachers take part in this two day concert to give the best of themselves. In the late night after the concert ended several jam sessions were held by a lot of talented musicians who volunteered to to lighting, sound, stage...
During the 2 days I was on stage, back stage, front stage to photograph the concert.
I have selected a "Distillers Edition" of those pictures in the apropo gallery in the varia section.

If you want to take a look at the complete concert pics take a look here. I put up a separate webpage for this event.APROPO_01611

Cemeteries

In Belgium we have some nice cemeteries and also a some very big ones. Het Schoonselhof in Antwerpen is one of the biggest in Europe [I believe there is a bigger one in the north of Germany, but I forgot the name].
This cemetery is visited not only by the people visiting deceiced relatives and friends but also photographers. I have been there a few times since it's in the neighborhood and everytime I see someone wielding a camera while running around the "old" section.

The old section is the nicest in my opinions because it has very old graves dating back to the years 18xx. People who were buried at that time usualy were rich and/or famous and their graves are decarated by beautiful old sculptures or they simply have a big tombe.

I've decided to get creative on this with my camera and the results will come online soon in a separate gallery. The idea came from a trip we made to shoot EDF in France. On the voyage home we passed what looked like a cemetery with some old graves in a small village and decided to take a look and from there on...
