16FEB2013 Aligot!

Luca invited:
Dear friends,
it is my pleasure to invite you all to a nice evening at my place to taste a delicious dish prepared by Hugh (some of you may know him already).
The dish is about a lot of cheese, potatos and sausage.
I attach a link for your convenience: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aligot
The max number of friends we can feed is 10, therefore we will accept only the first 10 that will reply YES to this kind invitation AND come to the dinner.
You will just need to bring your best smile, some wine and please no heavy desserts, better just some light ice cream or hot spirits to help our stomachs 😉
I and Hugh look forward to receive the quickest 10 of you and have another amazing evening at my place!
See you soon!
Luca & Hugh

February 1, 2013 – ART TRUC TROC

ART TRUC TROC at BOZAR Centre for Fine Arts

they say, it’s THE BIGGEST EXHIBITION / EVENT OF CONTEMPORARY ART IN BELGIUM ! (including photography)

One photo in exchange for a year of private piano lessons by a teacher at the music conservatory

Interesting, It’s really art trade. Visitors write their offer on a sticker.

Sometimes those offers seem to bee really valuable, but sometimes it would not even cover the production cost…..
Many photographs of different quality, not so much sculture and others.


The entrance to BOZAR is on the left. Looking at Galerie Ravenstein.


A queue for the truc troc museum and party night


.. part of the guerilla knitting project ?


 


lost or art?


 


 


stickers with the offer


 


 


funny dimensions


at least – not only photos


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


I now the place from which the picture was taken and wonder if the small house is gone…

Moto Retro Wieze 9 & 10 february 2013

Quote from the site:
“Moto Retro Wieze next edition 9 & 10 february 2013. Special café racers exhibit. Old motor bikes, yellow stained manuals, shiny head-lights? Enthusiastic collectors of old motorbikes and accessories. You can find it all at Moto Retro. Sell or exhange. Just for the fun, the excitement and the smell of nostalgia. Or are you looking for that one missing part. And perhaps you might want to buy the old motorbike you always dreamt of. Moto Retro is the place to be. Each year thousands visit the old motorbike jumble for its atmosphere and the encounters with the genuine die-hards.”

Brussels Photography going Monschau

Took the group to the German Village of Monschau. By public transport! Yes – its possible and easy. The train from Brussels to Eupen, the bus from Eupen to Monschau.
Long waiting times at the SNCB ticked counter – lucky those who purchased ticked only or just bought it on the train (no surcharge)

Suddenly deer appeared ..


we had a nice picknic (not showing wine and cheese) while on the train to Eupen


 


Everybody getting the photo gear ready


the deer are back, selling drink and food stuff


the smiles are free

 

 

 


taking the bus Eupen – Monschau (30 minutes drive)


icy windows


Happy Shuttercounts on tour


we had to climb the last 20 meter


to reach Monschau


narrow streets


winterly


and German Sausages


for everybody


crowded


but still ok.


a Christmas tree to big for a picture


a wide angle lens did work better


Monschau was a center for silk and cotton processing


yes, it’s Santa Claus


something (with sugar apart) against the cold


a river running through Monschau
