Art Appreciation:

SashaQ's Surreal Potato

Artist's Statement

DG: How did you make this?

SQ: I cut a potato on a black chopping board! When the potato juice dried, it made this pattern.

DG: Wow, it looks like an abstract or surrealist painting. I can see faces in it.

SQ: Yes! I liked how abstract it turned out. I didn't see faces at first, but can now.

DG: Sorry.

Hamburg Housing:

An Architect's View

by Tavaron da Quirm

Who's building where, and what?

 

They have a large area in Hamburg where they build modern housing. There is for instance one area at the water where they have removed old buildings, but to remember the history they left the old cranes for moving wares intact. To make the buildings floodproof there are waterproof locks at the windows on the ground floors (mostly businesses) which can be closed when the water comes.

Hamburg Birds

by Tavaron da Quirm

Special for those seagull-loving British readers.

One thing that surprised me about Hamburg was that there were fewer seagulls than I expected, but there were lots of geese in the parks!
