Skeleton at sunrise
Skeleton at sunrise In last week’s post I showed you this dilapidated house from the other side. A very different picture giving a very different impression. This is the same house – and tree – lit up by the early rays of the sun. And this is the sun as it had just risen above…

After the blaze
After the blaze A house almost burnt down, the fire still flaring up. That’s what it looked like but in fact it was a dilapidated house of which only frame and roof were still standing, while behind it the sun had just come up above the horizon. Fire was there, but far away, … some…

The invitation
The invitation Come and join me under my veil … Is that what she wants to tell me with her inviting look? A woman can use her veil to guard herself against the looks of others, but also on the contrary, to secretly make contact. The way she lifts her veil and reveals what should…

Wintry welcome

One to see, one to touch
One to see, one to touch Two Infants Jesus, one inside the stable, the other in front. That’s how this church meets the strongly felt need among believers to touch the new-born Infant in his manger. Maybe they think some of his infinite love will thus pour from the plaster figure into their own veins.…

A man and his dream
A man and his dream This thought occurred to me as I took the photograph. What I actually saw was this:A corner of the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney. A sleepy visitor sitting in a chair. In the foreground, a sculpture of a voluptuous naked woman. Photo of the week: Art Gallery…
