It was on this spot in 1818 that Frenchman Hippolyte de Bouchard realized his navigator had guzzled too much rum. The last thing he remembered was attacking the Presidio of Monterey, California the day before and here he was in some little Indian village. His navigator must have made a left turn in all the smoke and hit a river instead of the ocean. Well, needless to say, this wasn't going to look too good on Bouchard's pirate resume.

CITY STILL
no rules, no limitations, no boundaries it's like an art™

The catalogue of forms is endless: until every shape has found its city, new cities will continue to be born. When the forms exhaust their variety and come apart, the end of cities begins.

In 2010 I've build this lighthouse. It's a scale model of the lighthouse that guards the harbor of my hometown Urk, The Netherlands.
The models stands over 70 cm tall (27.6 inch) and it uses 4.237 bricks. The lightning consists of two old 9V light bulbs. The light rotates with 10rpm, giving it the same light signature as the original. I've spend over 130 hours building it, not counting the time browsing on BrickLInk.
Some info on the original lighthous: The current lighthouse is build in 1844. As early as 1617 a coal fire was burning on the hill of Urk. In 1837 a square tower was build. This was replaced in 1844 by the current lighthouse. In 1920 a electric light-bulb was installed. Since 1989 the lighthouse is fully automatic. Because of the use of radar, the importance of the lighthouse becomes smaller and smaller. That's why they took the fog signal out of use in 2001.
A little snow goes a long way.
*Today it hit 50 degrees which melted all the snow and the next few days will be around 60 and sunny which should dry any remaining moisture on the ground. Our big bad snowstorm has now concluded.

I took this shot of Ian when we were at Tarana Railway station today. You can see Johnny in the background.

This a two page spread (25"x11") from my travel book FACES & PLACES: England. I did not kiss the platform in case you were wondering. Auto-focus is a wonderful thing.

Due to more modern forms of communication the old signal post in IJmuiden (small building next to the lighthouse) lost its function (and signal lights) and became a one room hotel. It’s a unique place to spend the night with a great view over the harbour entrance. On a cold and windy night you could stay inside and just enjoy the view… or go outside and take some long exposure shots ;-)
