How does 65 km fit into 65 m ?

A clever photograper, Jo Struyven had the idea of making 

pictures of our 65 km of Belgium coast but taken from a boat, so you have the perspective sailers have. A landview ... not a seaview as usual.  He fitted this 65 km

into one large picture of 65 m and this is now hanging

in Ostend at the seafront.

Really worth a visit. 

This is part of the building where the picture hangs.

I heart macro

It shouldn't always be circles or tubes ... why not squares ;-)

Istanbul bead shopping

I have been bead shopping in Istanbul already twice.  Of course you can find a variety of

gemstones and great items in the 'Grand Bazaar' but my favorite place is the Marputcular Is Merkezi.

A variety of little shops selling gemstones, beads and craftmaterials all kind.

My friend Marinka was in Istanbul and brought me these special gemstones.

And I made another 'Les Doux & Durs' with it !
