Weekend Plans: Trip to Kassel, home of the dOCUMENTA

I’m excited to go to Kassel this weekend. This time it’s just a short day trip to see my cool friends from Kassel. I lived there for a short time in 2001, and coincidentally that year was also a year of the dOCUMENTA – a massive art exhibition that takes place every 5 years. I really enjoyed living there, there was lots of things happening as part of this art show, and the city is generally a cool place to be.

Last year I visit the dOCUMENTA again and I was quite taken by these portraits by a South African artist – Zanele Muholi

Happy Weekend! Any nice plans?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Sea

This is a challenge I could not resist.

I also leave you with a poem by Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen – O Mar – The Sea (Only in Portuguese. I will not attempt to translate it…sorry! if you can’t understand Portuguese, trust me its beautiful :))

Mar, metade da minha alma é feita de maresia
Pois é pela mesma inquietação e nostalgia,
Que há no vasto clamor da maré cheia,
Que nunca nenhum bem me satisfez.
E é porque as tuas ondas desfeitas pela areia
Mais fortes se levantam outra vez,
Que após cada queda caminho para a vida,
Por uma nova ilusão entontecida.
E se vou dizendo aos astros o meu mal
É porque também tu revoltado e teatral
Fazes soar a tua dor pelas alturas.
E se antes de tudo odeio e fujo
O que é impuro, profano e sujo,
É só porque as tuas ondas são puras.

Weekend plans and panoramic views

Some time ago I was obsessed with trying to take pictures that could be put together as a panoramic photo. Some of them turned out ok (what do you think?)! I then gave up on this idea….. but this week I was thinking I should play around with this a bit more.panorama polaroid - Brazil

So, my plan for this weekend is to find the perfect panoramic view in the area. The question is: will I be able to find it?…. I’ll let you know…

Do you have plans for your weekend too?
