Greenpeace activists post a banner on the window of the Hermes store in New York City, Feb. 11, 2013. Greenpeace is asking supporters and consumers to challenge luxury fashion brands to clean up their act and eliminate hazardous chemicals and rainforest destruction from their supply chains and products. The Hermes store refused refused to disclose information about their supply chains and their willingness to make binding commitments to create fashion free from hazardous chemicals and rainforest destruction.

The nice Dutch chap I was working with has tattoos - I only saw them after a few days of working with him when he removed his overalls.
I have to admit that I'm not a fan of tattoos even though they appear to have gone mainstream.
However, I was taken aback at these. Theses convey powerful messages with background to them that I discovered when I talked to him about them.
It's interesting meeting people and discovering things about them.
He has served with the Royal Netherlands Army in Afghanistan.
Hope you got the letter,
And I pray you can make it better down here.
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer,
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet,
cause they don't get enough to eat
From god,
I can't believe in you.
Dear god,
Sorry to disturb you,
But I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears,
And all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street,
cause they can't make opinions meet,
About god,
I can't believe in you.
Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!
Dear god,
Don't know if you noticed,
But your name is on a lot of quotes in this book.
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
And all the people that you made in your image,
Still believing that junk is true.
Well I know it ain't and so do you,
Dear god,
I can't believe in,
I don't believe in,
I won't believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners,
No devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
You're always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,
And it's the same the whole world 'round.
The hurt I see helps to compound,
That the father, son and holy ghost,
Is just somebody's unholy hoax,
And if you're up there you'll perceive,
That my heart's here upon my sleeve.
If there's one thing I don't believe in...
It's you,
Dear god.

I started a new project, project Message in a Bottle. I am creating little pieces of art, put them in a bottle, close them off with cotton fabric, wax and hemp string, and then release them into the river Rhine, hoping that someone will find them. More about the project can be found here:

This week is Postcard Week for me. Please see the adjacent image for the message side of the card.
When my mother passed away in 2016, I came across a large number of postcards dating back to the 1940s. My family had lived in the same Victorian house since 1912 and hence there were many discoveries to be made. Reading the postcards, the social media messages of the day, has proven interesting, not to mention nostalgic, and I put out a display at my home where family gathered after Mum's cremation. Needless to say, elderly relatives could not recall where they went on holiday in 1951! It was something to lighten the mood of the day.
This one was from my aunt & uncle to my grandmother. I remember the debacle with the car, a Humber Hawk of 1960 vintage. My parents and I were on holiday with my uncle, aunt and my cousins. My father, being a motor mechanic, spent two days of his week's holiday repairing the Humber gearbox, and with just a few tools he had to hand! Not best pleased as I recall... Anyway, I spent two days on this beach with my cousins which was really good. This picture was taken whilst on the same holiday www.flickr.com/photos/trevordurrittlrps/46512458785/in/da...
I hope that you will enjoy these images for what they are - part of the UK's social history.
Is it really just a natural pattern made by woodworm...or a hidden message we are unable to translate....? I read a book about Ancient Egypt and the signs on papyrus seem to be similar to me ;-D
Okay, my message is clear - Have a nice day!!! ;-)
Young people from Tokelau, a small island in the South Pacific Ocean, send their messages to negotiators at the COP19 climate talks in Warsaw, Poland.
I'm covering a co-workers desk this week while she's on holidays. And that means I'm extra slow getting the messages off her phone. Sorry 'bout that Tess!

I did a double take on the sidewalk when I noticed that (someone sent me a message in stone) somehow newsprint became part of this concrete slab - I don't know how. Who's behind the message?

Si vous cherchez des salutations pour la Saint-Valentin et des messages d'amour, vous êtes au bon endroit. Bienvenue aux

Send home my long stray'd eyes to me,
Which O too long have dwelt on thee,
Yet since there they have learn'd such ill,
Such forc'd fashions,
And false passions,
That they be
Made by thee
Fit for no good sight, keep them still.
Send home my worthless heart again,
Which no unworthy thought could stain,
Which if't be taught by thine
To make jestings
Of protestings,
And cross both
Word and oath,
Keep it, for then 'tis none of mine.
Yet send me back my heart and eyes,
That I may know, and see thy lies,
And may laugh and joy, when thou
Art in anguish
And dost languish
For some one
That will non,
Or prove as false as thou art now.
