Cool prison...

Cool prison...
A couple of months ago I got the opportunity to walk around, with my camera and 11 other photographers, in the beautiful empty prison in my home town. Even the famous Dutch resistance hero Hannie Schaft has been kept locked in here by hte Germans in WW2. I have been biking past this building since I was born. For years now there are no prisoners kept in there anymore and it's been used to house refugees and now it's totally empty.
They are planning to create an university in there, after adjusting the inside of the building. The accoustic in the center of the main hall is really crazy, it would drive many man crazy being kept prison there. Even the guards needed rest after their shift. One guard would sit in his car for half an hour enjoying the silence, before driving home to his family. I just love this building.

Cool ute...

Cool ute...
This old beautiful Peugeot 404, we found on the side of the road in France this summer. My hunt for sleeping beauties never stops. Wherever We go I keep my eyes open like a hawk to spot these sleepers and catch them with my cameras.

Cool recycling...

In France, on our way home, we stayed the night in a hotel after riding 500 kilometers that day. The lobby of that hotel was filled with 'recycle-art'. Oil drums transferred into seats, bicycle double folded and sprayed silver as a side table. Here you see the re-use of traffic signs, build into a table on wheels.

Cool hidden treasures...

Holiday season is always a good time for me... Always finding hidden treasures somewere... This time it was right under my nose, behind the barn on the campsite... Three cars about to be taken over by nature... One of them, this nice Fiat truck...

Cool holiday encounters...

Almost every vacation we run into sleeping beauties... Also this vacation in France, three of them sleeping in an open barn next to the road in a village... Yeah, what can you do but stop and catch them...! Here's a Citroen CX, late eighties...

Cool fog light...

The first one of the year is already a good one... Here's a finding on the worldwidewebster I found for ya... Used to rest in some Belgian woods in the Ardennes near the Frensh border... Last year they cleared the sites and send the rusty beauties to the scrapyard...
Nice detail on the dashboard buttons, notice the fog light push switch...

Cool sleeping beauty...

Yes, we're back from our bloody hot holiday in France. France is always a good source for cool stuff...
On our way to some waterfalls we passed this beauty and some friends of hers... Just standing next to the road, waiting for nature to take over...

Back to school...

Ok, kids back to school and me back to work (in an old school)... Brought the Young Geisha back to life after a well deserved holiday and steered her trough the rough street jungle of Amsterdam...

Cool findings again...

Just imagine... You walk into a shed and there are se-ve-ral old motorcycles in there... Covered in dust, just waiting to get kicked back to live again... Only if we could be so lucky... (Notice the banana peel on the handle bar?)

Cool forrest finds...

With 2010 coming to an end, greatest radio show of the Top2000 (the 2000 best pop songs ever... best listened to through www.radio2.nl) on my headphones, commuting to work with public transport again...
Due to slippery roads after some more snow and the freezing tempratures... Thinking of the song 'The worker' by Fisher-Z...
"...hate that journey on the train..."
I'm ready for walks in the forrest with my woman in spring, come on give me some good weather again...!!!
