A friend suggested this picture would look great in black and white. I tried a bright white backgound but I felt the slightly shaded one looked better
During my recent visit to London I finally managed to have a lovely meal in this very nice restaurant called Hide. Whilst most people go there for a fine dining experience, I couldn’t wait to go there to be able to take a few pictures of this fabulous staircase. This is a beautifully designed architectural masterpiece and I really hope I managed to do it justice with my picture.
The waterfall in Jaun
Opposite the centre of the village with its wooden houses, at certain times of the year up to 6000 litres of water per second, gushing from the rock face, flow down into the River Jogne.
This spot, between the waterfall and the old church, hosts an exceptional level of positive energy.
Some 15 kilometers to the South-West of the village of Jaun, in the area of the Gros-Mont valley, there is another valley cutting across it which is flanked by the highest mountains of the Fribourg Préalpes: the “les Morteys” valley.
The stream running through this high valley has its source on the side of the Vanil Noir, at 1,920 metres above sea level, then it flows on for about three kilometres through this wild scenery, losing water on its way, before disappearing altogether. In 1928, it was decided to put some colour on this stream. To everyone’s surprise, eleven days after this was done, the coloured water reappeared in the Jaun waterfall!
Up to 6,000 litres per second spurt from the rock in the month of June. To get a feeling of the force of the place, stand at the fence in front of the waterfall and breathe in slowly and deeply the liquid, christallised “light”. The waterfall has a very high positive energy content (13,500 Bovis units).

Cascade de Jaun
Située en face du centre du village et ses maisons en bois, la cascade déverse à certaines périodes de l’année jusqu’à 6000 litres d’eau à la seconde dans la Jogne.
Cet endroit, entre la cascade et l’ancienne église, offre une teneur exceptionnelle en énergie positive.
Quelque 15 kilomètres au sud-ouest du village de Jaun, dans la région de la vallée du Gros-Mont, se trouve une vallée transversale, encadrée par les plus hautes Préalpes fribourgeoises; la vallée "Les Morteys".
Le ruisseau de cette haute vallée prend la source sur le flanc du Vanil Noir à une altitude de 1920 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer, puis s’écoule environ trois kilomètres à travers ce paysage sauvage et perd continuellement de l’eau avant de disparaître totalement. En 1928, on a procédé à la coloration de cette eau de source. A la grande surprise, onze jours après la coloration, l’eau colorée a fait son apparition dans la cascade de Jaun!
Jusqu’à 6000 litres à la seconde se jettent du rocher au mois de juin. Pour se rendre compte de la force du lieu, placez-vous à la clôture devant la cascade et aspirez profondément et lentement la « lumière » liquide et cristallisée. La cascade offre une teneur exceptionnelle en énergie positive (13'500 unités Bovis).

Foxgloves everywhere to bring joy
Digitalis purpurea, the foxglove or common foxglove, is a poisonous species of flowering plant in the plantain family Plantaginaceae, native to and widespread throughout most of temperate Europe. It has also naturalised in parts of North America and some other temperate regions. The plant is a popular garden subject, with many cultivars available. It is the original source of the heart medicine digoxin (also called digitalis or digitalin). This biennial plant grows as a rosette of leaves in the first year after sowing, before flowering and then dying in the second year (i.e. it is monocarpic). It generally produces enough seeds, however, so that new plants will continue to grow in a garden setting.

IGNOSY 2021 ESPECIALLY MADE FOR CODA MUSEUM
Ignosi (ηγνώση)
Long ago there was a demigodess called Ignosi, whose knowledge was pure and immeasurable. She knew everything of all creation, gods, heroes, and man. She was associated with science, speech, literature, the arts and inspiration. She was also the gatekeeper for the process of gaining knowledge.
However, she was not allowed to to communicate this awareness to humanity.
...So powerful and beautiful were her skills, that not only did she become the most enlightened creature on earth, but she also felt compelled to share her learning with humans, even though that had been strictly forbidden by the Gods. Ignosi defied the gods and became pregnant in order to sow the seeds of 'cognition' on earth. This caught the attention of the gods who believed that humans with this insight and strength could soon become a threat to them.
For this outrageous act of disobedience against the will of the Gods, Ignosi was condemned to death by decapitation. In her last defiant act before passing however, she cleverly managed to communicate fragments of her wisdom to her twin daughters in her womb. Through them, fragments of knowledge and awareness seeped through humanity.

Laccaria amethystina
Laccaria amethystina, commonly known as the amethyst deceiver, or amethyst laccaria, is a small brightly colored mushroom, that grows in deciduous and coniferous forests. The mushroom itself is edible, but can absorb arsenic from the soil. Because its bright amethyst coloration fades with age and weathering, it becomes difficult to identify, hence the common name "deceiver". This common name is shared with its close relation Laccaria laccata that also fades and weathers. It is found mainly in Northern temperate zones, though it is reported to occur in tropical Central and South America as well. Recently, some of the other species in the genus have been given the common name of "deceiver".
Bicycles, Haarlemmersluis and Round Lutheran Church
Did you see the butterflies?
:-)
The Haarlemmersluis is a 17th-century lock in the center of Amsterdam. The lock is located at the eastern end of the Brouwersgracht, where the Singel flows into the IJ.
The Ronde Lutherse Kerk (round Lutheran church) or Koepelkerk (cupola church) is a former Lutheran church in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on the Singel canal. The church can be easily seen from the Singel, identified by its copper dome.
The church was designed by Adriaan Dortsman (ca. 1636-1682) and was opened in 1671.[1] In 1822 the church was nearly destroyed; it was rebuilt in 1826.
In 1935 the Lutherans left the building and it became a concert hall. The neighboring Renaissance Amsterdam Hotel (formerly the Sonesta Hotel) rents the church building from the Lutheran Church. In 1975 a tunnel was built by the hotel to access the church.[2] In 1983 the church was closed for restoration, but in 1993 the dome caught fire,[1] and the church was again restored.[1]
The church is not open to the public, but interested persons may request to view it at the Renaissance Hotel. A security guard accompanies visitors through the tunnel to the church, where the ground floor of the consistory has been converted to bathrooms and the upper floor to a meeting room. Of the main hall, the impressive columns, galleries, organ and pulpit can still be seen.

On June 12 & 19, our Jazz Club will be dominated by IkToon (IShow), the month of amateur art. Local amateur singers and instrumentalists can show their swinging side on these days. Of course they are expertly accompanied by the Guus Essers Huisband.
On June 12, Paul Vetter and Harma Stenveld, among others, will conjure up the most beautiful sounds from the saxophone. (And so they did.)
