Lost in Time.

I like to make a little walk in the evening after dinner. Tonight was no exception. Today started with fog. After that was gone, light rain came. Thereafter drizzle and winds turning into North West which gave a cool breeze. It became much clearer in the sky. The sun came out slightly on and off. Round 6 pm because of the wind the sun came out full blast. The light here in Connemara is something special.

This changing of the weather during the day is something I like. "All seasons in a day" it is called.  It can be much more extreme than today and it makes the vieuw on landscapes different every moment. This is probably a reason why I love this place so much.

Tonight I made a walk to the bay. It had just been high tide. Sitting on a rock between the 2 bays I got lost in time. That usually happens when I am there. Simply don't leave. The smell of the sea and the sound of the waves kind of hypnotizes me. This place is good for my soul and mind. Wish I could take it home with me.

There was a beautiful sunset when I walked home. Rain now, when I am off to bed.

In my previous post I promised to write about the just released book about Dutch Fisherman's Ganseys. Written by Stella Ruhe . In Dutch the title is:  Visserstruien uit 40 Nederlandse vissersplaatsen. There is an English translation with the title:  Dutch traditional ganseys. Sweaters from 40 vilages. (I couln't find it on Amazon, but there are some book(web)shops in Holland who also deliver all around the world.) For many years I had on my bookshelve the only book on Dutch Fisherman's ganseys. Written in 1983 by Henriëtte van der Klift-Tellingen. The book is printed in black and white, has many pictures from beautifulganseys in it, and it tells the history behind them. It is a good book, but the new book is better and more interesting. (but more about that book later in this post) I have never made a gansey for myself, but I have always been attracted to them.  Dutch ganseys (and the same is for English one's) tell a history from fishermen

Jean Paul Gaultier ..  My Hero when I studied Fashion at Art College. I remember buying the magazine Marie Claire Bis every season.. And in the where... The most spectaculair Desi gns by him.  This afternoon I found a map full of photo's with his designs from the time I studied Fashion Design. Combinations no one ever dreamed off.. Chiffon and lace Aprons... Old Models... Amazing adverts.. Guess he was -and still is- a big inspiration for Fashion students.. I remember that we had to make an illustration with silk paper and I used one of his designs. I have always kept it. At the moment De Kunsthal in Rotterdam shows the exhibition:  The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk I went yesterday.. I had doubts ofcourse because Bram is so weak.. But the nurses told me to go.. Neighbours took care.. Jochum came and stayed the whole afternoon.. And I could take a break from a few hours,. and breath... I was a bit nervous when I
