The Grey (or Gray) squirrel, you either love 'em or you hate 'em. Cute and fluffy little funsters or destructive critters who ruin trees, kill bird chicks and trees and damage our homes... oh and it's their fault we lost our native Red squirrels as well!
OK
I get it and I see both sides of the story of course. For my part, I am a nature, wildlife and landscape photographer who prefers the company of animals and natural beauty to fellow humans who are systematically plundering Mother Earth's resources and killing off her beautiful creatures at an alarming rate! I believe there is a natural order of things, creatures kill other creatures to survive, they adapt to situations and when mankind encroaches on their territory to make a fast buck, those animals sometimes adapt to survive and the order changes.
That is the balance of nature which is ever changing and affected by us..... the dumbest of the great apes.
Some species are driven out by others, some may be destined to become extinct, the fittest will survive, and sometime a species will need intervention and help from mankind in order to survive... usually as a direct consequence of mankind's own actions in destroying the animal kingdom's natural habitat of course.
I adore these little fellas and at almost sixty years old, I never grew up knowing red squirrels at all. I've seen reds in Scotland and black squirrels in Stanley Park on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, but in my beloved home country of England I have always known and loved the cute little Greys. They visit my garden and give me hours, days, weeks of happiness and wonderful photographic opportunities, and I see them in Parks and forests all around me, so it's time to offer up an insight into the Grey squirrel, much loved, much hated... a sort of Marmite rodent if you will.
WHAT EXACTLY IS A SQUIRREL?
The word 'Squirrel', was first recorded in 1327 and hails from the Anglo-Norman word 'Esquirel', from old French 'Escurel', which was a reflex for the Latin word 'Sciurus'.The Eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is also known as the Eastern Grey squirrel or simply grey squirrel depending on the region of the world it is found. It is a tree squirrel, of the squirrel family Sciuridae including over one hundred arboreal species native to all continents of the world other than Antarctica and Oceania. Tree squirrels live mostly in trees, apart from the flying squirrel. The best known genus is Sciurus, containing most of the bushy tailed squirrels which are found in Europe, North America, temperate Asia as well as central and south America.
The scientific classification for the Eastern Grey is:
KINGDOM: ANIMALIA PHYLUM: CHORDATA CLASS: MAMMALIA ORDER: RODENTIA FAMILY: SCIURIDAE GENUS: SCIURUS SUBGENUS: SCIURUS SPECIES: SCIURUS CAROLINENSIS
They were first noted by German naturalist, botanist, entomologist, herpetologist, and malacologist - Johann Friedrich Gmelin in 1788.
A mammal and rodent, predominantly herbivorous they are none the less an omnivore with a life span of between two and ten years. They can grow to 70cm in length and weigh up to 8kg. There are more than two hundred and sixty species of worldwide squirrel, the smallest being the African pygmy squirrel at just 10cm in length, whereas the Indian giant squirrel is three feet long! The oldest fossil of a squirrel, Hesperopetes, dates back to the late Eocene epoch period Chadronian period of 40-35 million years ago. The tree squirrels rotate their ankles by 180 degrees, so that the hind paws pointy backwards gripping tree bark which enables them to descend a tree headfirst.
Originally native to Eastern and Midwestern United States of America, they were first introduced into the United Kingdom in 1876 in Henbury Park, Macclesfield in Cheshire when Victorian banker Thomas V. Brocklehurst released a pair of Greys that he brought back from a business trip to America after their attraction as pets had waned. Victorians had a penchant for collecting exotic animals and birds of the world, but trends came and went and subsequently animals were simply discarded into the wilderness. There are early records of greys released near Denbighshire in north Wales from private collections. Later introduced to several regions in the UK, they quickly settled and spread, colonizing an area of three hundred miles in a quarter of a century between Argyll and Stirlingshire in Scotland.
Introductions of the Greys between 1902 and 1929 (the year of the last recorded introduction), included: Regent’s Park in London, Berkshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, Devon, Warwickshire, Nottinghamshire, Suffolk and Hampshire. Grey Squirrels spread into Gloucestershire and eastern Wiltshire with animals coming directly from the United States or from Woburn. One hundred greys were released in Richmond Park in Surrey in 1902, Ninety one into Regent’s Park between 1905 and 1907 and a further ten New Jersey imported greys were introduced into Woburn Park in Bedfordshire.
Predators include hawks, weasels, raccoons, bobcats, foxes, domestic and feral cats, snakes, owls, and dogs, African harrier-hawks in Africa and... oh yes, Mankind pretty much everywhere who despise, mistreat, cull or eat it .
FACTS, MYTHS AND THAT POXY PARAPOX!
The massive decline in native red squirrels blamed upon the spread of the invasive greys has always been perhaps a little harsh as reds were already in a steep decline due to loss of habitat and disease and thus the greys simply took over the areas where the reds were dwindling. It's also a fact that reds were also seen as a plague, branded as pests who killed birds and damaged trees and the culling of reds almost brought them to the brink of extinction. Licenses to kill reds could still be obtained up until the seventies!
Reds suffered at the hands of mankind thanks to a combination of agricultural deforestation also linked with war and fuel needs which caused extinction in Southern Scotland and Ireland by the early eighteenth century, way before greys had been introduced. Harsh winters killed off the less hardy red population in the early nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Greys are more adept at finding food and adapting to locations and environments, but also carry the squirrel poxvirus (SQPV) which although not particularly harmful to them, is a serious infection for the reds.
Parapox in red squirrels causes swollen lesions around the mouth, eyes, ears and nose also the front paws and sometimes genitals and skin ulcers and kills a red within fifteen days. There is no definitive correlation between the spread of the virus and the spread of the Greys, it actually arrived in several areas before the greys began to colonize there. An epidemic virus was observed in Red squirrels from at least 1900 with isolation attempts failing, and the first case of Parapox in the UK was in 1980 in the county of Norfolk. Greys cannot transmit the virus to reds via saliva or faeces, but reds can between each other from bodily secretions and at animal feeders in gardens. The transmission from greys to reds is though to come from parasites. Eight to ten per cent of reds survive the virus, and there is some evidence that reds are slowly building an evolved resistance.
Greys are seen as pests to forest land, stripping bark from trees during May and June, and are also capable of destroying household bins, water pipes, causing roof damage not to mention taking eggs and killing young chicks of ground nesting and songbird populations. They also take from bird feeders and there is a whole industry for creating squirrel proof feeders these days.
THE CULLING OF GREY SQUIRRELS
Grey squirrels have limited legal protection and can be legally controlled all year round by a variety of methods including shooting and trapping. Methods of trapping and killing include Drey poking and shooting, Tunnel trapping using spring traps set in accordance with BASC’s trapping pest mammals code of practice. They can also be shot using a shotgun or powerful air rifle or up until September 30th 2014 poisoned by Warfarin (Now outlawed).
Whilst professional trapping and extermination is hopefully done as humanely as possible, there have been cases, many of them where cost savings have been gained by battering the squirrels to death! Grey squirrels are trapped in ghastly metal contraptions for hours and hours, wearing themselves out frantically trying to escape by gnawing at the metals bars. They bite the floor and scratch at them with their claws and do not get a moments peace or rest through absolute fear. Once the traps are retrieved, each squirrel, terrified will be thrown into a sack and smacked on the head countless times with a blunt instrument. When a mother is slaughtered, her babies who are totally dependent on her, will die a slow death of thirst and starvation.
There is an argument for the control of Greys on many grounds but also a counter argument that Culling does not work, and has not on countless times where, once a population of greys have been culled, the nearest group will move back in and claim the land. The university of Bristol concluded that there was little evidence that culling greys to save red squirrels was effective, and that perhaps finding a way of boosting red squirrel immunity to the poxvirus or planting areas of yew trees where reds are known to thrive and spending money on research into positive moves might be a better option.
In Ireland, the re-introduction of the Pine marten, a species made extinct originally by the very same land owners who also wish to do the same to the grey squirrel, has seen the rapid demise of the grey and the reintroction of the native reds. Red squirrels are smaller and more nimble than their grey counterparts, and as such can get to the very ends of tree branches where neither the pine martins, nor more importantly the heavier greys can, thus surviving and thriving. As a result in Ireland, the grey squirrel population has crashed in approximately 9,000 km2 of its former range and the reds has become common once more after a thirty year absence... oh and Pine Martens are protected again!
In Scotland, Pine Martens exist in areas where Red squirrels thrive, and greys do not. So perhaps there is a lesson here, as in England where there are no pine martens, the greys are prolific breeders. So there is an argument against the barbarity of shooting and poisoning greys, and if, as so many believe, the greys MUST be controlled, how about a more humane and natural method that nature intended.. with re-introduction of predators. Just a thought!
So a few facts and figures on the greys and to wrap up, from a purely personal perspective I love these little guys, as I do almost every creature in nature other than those eight legged beasties that shall not be named and for which I have a deep and powerful phobia that borders on paranoia!
I could no more harm an animal deliberately than eat a McDonald's McRib (Once saw how they are made and let me just say... eeeuuuuuwwwww!!).
They are small, cute, cuddly, furry, they photograph beautifully, have great personality and make me smile. They trust me enough to take food from my hand in parks, and I can't bare the though of ugly, hairy land owners sticking a shotgun in their face and blowing them away! I appreciate they can be a pest, a problem, a menace, that their PR managers might have a bit of a problem winning you over when they flay small chicks alive on your lawn or decimate the songbird population by stealing their eggs.... and perhaps there is a need to keep the population under control and try and re-establish the red population.....
Yep I get that....
I just hope we can solve the problem more humanely to create a peaceful coexistence of the reds and greys in different areas. A man can dream can't he.

Meriem, the preserves specialist, has taken off her beekeeping suit. She searches in her bag and pulls out jars of preserves. The tasting session has started: apricot jam, robb (date molasses) and gataa el bared (a drink made from dried apricots). “All these products are made with fruits from the region, except the soft dates which we bring from the oases. Everything is natural, there are no chemicals or preservatives,” Meriam says.
To make the robb, Meriem boils gharss, soft dates used in traditional patisserie. Once cooked, the dates are filtered, then pressed. The liquid is then cooked over a low heat to make robb. This molasses, rich in vitamin A, phosphorus, calcium and iron, can be consumed as it is or spread on flatbread.
Gataa el bared is drunk by nomads from the Laghouat region. “This juice allows us to resist thirst, that’s why we prepare it during the month of Ramadan. It is made from dates and hermass, to which we add aromatic herbs,” says Meriem.
Over the last few years there has been a real enthusiasm for these artisan products. A market within reach of the Laghouat artisans.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meriem, la spécialiste des confitures, a retiré sa tenue d’apicultrice. Elle fouille dans sa musette et en tire des bocaux de confitures. La séance de dégustation est ouverte : confiture d’abricots, robb (mélasse de dattes) et gataa el bared (boisson fabriquée à partir de petits abricots séchés). « Tous ces produits sont fabriqués avec des fruits de la région, à l’exception des dattes molles que nous faisons venir des oasis. Tout est naturel, il n’y a aucun produit chimique ni conservateur », déclare Meriem.
Pour fabriquer le robb, Meriem fait bouillir du gharss, des dattes molles utilisées dans la pâtisserie traditionnelle. Une fois cuites, les dattes sont filtrées puis pressées. Le liquide est ensuite cuit à feu doux pour obtenir le robb. Cette mélasse, riche en vitamine A, phosphore, calcium et en fer, peut être consommée en l’état ou bien tartinée sur de la galette.
Le gataa el bared est la boisson des nomades de la région de Laghouat. « Ce jus permet de résister à la soif, c’est pourquoi nous le préparons durant le mois de ramadhan. Il est fait à partir de dattes et de hermass auquel nous rajoutons des herbes aromatiques », dit Meriem.
Ces dernières années, il y existe un véritable engouement pour ces produits artisanaux. Un marché à la portée des artisanes de Laghouat.

Iron Man est un film américain réalisé par Jon Favreau, sorti en 2008. Il raconte les origines et les débuts du personnage éponyme issu du comics publié par Marvel. Il s'agit de la première étape de l'univers cinématographique Marvel, dont la première partie, appelée « Phase un » s'est terminée en 2012 avec Avengers de Joss Whedon.
Ce film marque aussi le retour au succès au box-office de Robert Downey Jr., qui connait grâce à ce rôle un regain de popularité. Le film récolte effectivement 585 millions de dollars pour un budget de 140 millions et sera suivi en 2010 d'Iron Man 2.
Iron Man is a 2008 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Paramount Pictures, it is the first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was directed by Jon Favreau from a screenplay by the writing teams of Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, and Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, and stars Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man alongside Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges, Shaun Toub, and Gwyneth Paltrow. In the film, following his escape from captivity by a terrorist group, world famous industrialist and master engineer Tony Stark builds a mechanized suit of armor and becomes the superhero Iron Man.
A film featuring the character was in development at Universal Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and New Line Cinema at various times since 1990, before Marvel Studios reacquired the rights in 2006. Marvel put the project in production as its first self-financed film, with Paramount Pictures distributing. Favreau signed on as director in April 2006, and faced opposition from Marvel when trying to cast Downey in the title role; the actor was signed in September. Filming took place from March to June 2007, primarily in California to differentiate the film from numerous other superhero stories that are set in New York City-esque environments. During filming, the actors were free to create their own dialogue because pre-production was focused on the story and action. Rubber and metal versions of the armor, created by Stan Winston's company, were mixed with computer-generated imagery to create the title character.
Iron Man premiered in Sydney on April 14, 2008, and was released in the United States on May 2, as the first film in Phase One of the MCU. It grossed over $585 million on its $140 million budget, becoming the eighth-highest grossing film of 2008. The film was praised by critics for its acting (particularly Downey's), screenplay, direction, visual effects, and action sequences. It was selected by the American Film Institute as one of the ten best films of 2008 and received two nominations at the 81st Academy Awards for Best Sound Editing and Best Visual Effects. It was followed by two sequels, Iron Man 2 in 2010 and Iron Man 3 in 2013.
La Chouette de l’Oural est un rêve pour tous les amoureux de la nature, des animaux et des oiseaux. On la voit en photo, dans les reportages, dans les livres; on l’espère au détour d’un arbre, on en parle le soir autour d’un verre et on caresse le secret espoir de la voir…. un jour.
Daniel Green (Birdsafari of Sweden), un des meilleurs guides que j’ai eu l’occasion de rencontrer dans mes voyages ornithologiques sait qu’il est difficile de voir ce rapace. Nous sommes début mai, la période de reproduction a commencé, il va nous emmener au nord du Vastmanland pour une incroyable journée !
Nous allons rencontrer l’homme de la Chouette de l’Oural en Suède : Kelle-Ake Källebrink (ainsi que son frère Kalle) pose des nichoirs et bague des Chouettes de l’Oural depuis 30 ans ! La déforestation réduit l’aire de répartition de nombreux rapaces. La Chouette de l’Oural ayant besoin d’arbres morts pour fabriquer son nid, ne trouve plus la maison de ses rêves ! Kelle a donc décidé de poser chaque année une cinquantaine de nichoirs pour aider notre Chouette et quand la magie opère, l’homme et l’oiseau cohabitent pacifiquement jusqu’au moment où les petits prendront leur envol !
La Chouette de l’Oural présentée en photo couve 2 oeufs, seule la femelle couve, le mâle nous surveille caché à proximité, nous croisons tous les doigts pour la réussite de cette couvée !
The Ural Owl is a dream for all nature, animal and bird lovers; We watch her on photos, reports, books; we expect her behind a tree, we speak about her, in front of a drink, in the evening and we hope to watch her…one day.
Daniel Green (Birdsafari of Sweden), one of the best guides I have ever seen in my bird trips knows how it’s difficult to watch this raptor. We are in the beginning of may, the nesting time began, Daniel will bring us in the north of Vastmanland for an incredible day !
We are going to see the man of the Ural Owl in Sweden : Kelle-Ake Källebrink (and his brother Kalle) put nesting boxes and rings Ural Owls for 30 years ! The deforestation is reducing the distribution area for many raptors. The Ural Owl needs the dead trunks to build her nest, and she doesn’t find her « home sweet home » ! So Kalle decided to put, every year, about 50 nest boxes to help our Owl and when magic is working, man and bird live together pacifically until the time where the cubs will take their flight !
The Ural Owl in these photos is hatching two eggs, only the female takes care of the eggs, the male hides around , we all cross our fingers for a complete success of this brood !
Jules Paul Loebnitz, né le 5 août 1836 à Paris où il décède le 20 Octobre 1895, est un céramiste et faïencier français.
M. Pichenot fonde en 1833 la faïencerie Pichenot-Loebnitz. En 1841, il entreprend de fabriquer des panneaux de faïence ingerçable pour intérieurs de cheminées et revêtements divers. Sa production est primée à l’exposition de 1844. En 1857, Jules Paul Loebnitz lui succède à la direction de la manufacture. Il produit principalement des poêles et des plaques de cheminées.
À partir de 1860, Jules Loebnitz se lance dans la céramique architecturale. À l'Exposition universelle de 1878, sa collaboration avec l'architecte Paul Sédille est remarquée : il travaille au pavillon Schneider et remporte une médaille d'or pour une façade de 12 mètres de haut entièrement en terre cuite et faïence à la porte des Beaux-arts.
Jules Paul Loebnitz (5 August 1836 – 20 October 1895) was a French ceramicist and potter.
In 1833, Mr. Pichenot founded the Pichenot-Loebnitz pottery. In 1841, he began to manufacture ingercisable earthenware panels for fireplace interiors and various coatings. His production was awarded at the exhibition of 1844. In 1857, Jules Paul Loebnitz succeeded him as director of the factory. It mainly produces stoves and fireplace plates.
From 1860, Jules Loebnitz embarked on architectural ceramics. At the Universal Exhibition of 1878, his collaboration with the architect Paul Sédille was noticed: he worked at the Schneider pavilion and won a gold medal for a 12-metre-high façade entirely in terracotta and earthenware at the Porte des Beaux-Arts.
Retablo de la Capilla de Santa María o de los Sastres
Es la capilla gótica más suntuosa de la Catedral gracias a su rica decoración arquitectónica, escultórica y pictórica.
Gremio de los sastres
Se construyó en el segundo cuarto del siglo XIV, antes de 1350, bajo el patrocinio del arzobispo Pere de Clasquerí y a petición de la Cofradía de Presbíteros de la Catedral. Los canónigos fabriqueros, Guillem d’Anglesola y Bernat d’Albió, se responsabilizaron de las obras. Los escudos de todos ellos ornamentan los muros. Su tutela la ejerció el Gremio de los sastres de quien tomó popularmente el nombre.
Ocupa uno de los absidiolos románicos de la Catedral, presenta planta hexagonal y bóveda de crucería estrellada. A un tercio de su altura se desarrolla un friso de arquillos conopiales sostenidos por ménsulas efigiadas; sobre él corre una cornisa floreada y la cantoría de bello calado que evoca las galerías inglesas para acólitos cantores.
Vitrales emplomados
Los vitrales emplomados, obra de Guillem de Letumgard, datan de 1359. El retablo es de piedra calcárea policromada con escenas alusivas a la vida de la Virgen. Lo esculpió el artista normando Aloi de Montbrai en 1368. Las vidrieras simuladas sobre el muro representan a san Judas Tadeo, Santiago el Menor y su madre María Jacobé. Datan de la segunda mitad del siglo XIV.
El muro lateral derecho cobija la urna sepulcral policromada del arzobispo Pere de Clasquerí, datable en torno a 1388 y flanqueada por las imágenes de san Pablo y santa Tecla. Las pinturas que figuran sobre el dintel de la puerta de acceso al presbiterio representan al prelado revestido de pontifical, y arrodillado ante la Virgen y el Niño Jesús.

Poi si dice che i Cinesi non sono capaci di integrarsi... E il padre Pio multivisi del supermercato cinese di Mantova, non è una prova di integrazione ?
Les commerçants chinois sont les plus forts du monde. Ils arrivent même à fabriquer et à vendre pour le marché italien ces magnifiques statuettes de Padre Pio, l'ermite à vision le plus populaire chez les ménagères et les camionneurs de la péninsule, en version plus ou moins jeune.
One more proof of the power of chinese trade. In a chinese supermarket of Mantua (Italy), they even sell these kitsch Made in China statuette of Padre Pio, a very popular monk of South Italy, venerated by housewives and truck drivers

Les premières descriptions de l'alambic sont attribuées aux Perses aux alentours du IXe siècle avec Al-Razi dans son "Livre des Secrets". Abu Al-Qasim (Aboulcassis), le décrit également au XIe siècle.
Mais le principe existait déjà bien avant, et les Grecs et les Thraces le connaissaient. Le mot alambic vient d'ailleurs de l'arabe al 'inbïq, lui-même emprunté au grec tardif ambix (= vase).
On aurait même retrouvé des traces de l'invention de l'alambic par les Égyptiens et en Mésopotamie vers 3500 ans avant JC.
L'alambic fut d'abord utilisé pour fabriquer des parfums, de l'essence ou des médicaments, avant de permettre la production d'eaux-de-vie par distillation de jus de fruits fermentés.
The first descriptions of the still are attributed to the Persians near the IXth century with Al-Razi in his "Book of the Secrets ". Abu Al-Qasim ( Aboulcassis), described also in the XIth century.
But the principle already existed well before, and the Greeks and Thrace knew it. The word still comes moreover from Arabic al ' inbïq, itself borrowed from late ambix Greek (= vase).
We would have even found the tracks of the invention of the still by Egyptians and in Mesopotamia at about 3500 years before JC.
The still was used at first to make perfumes, essence or medicines, before allowing the production of brandies by distillation of fermented fruit juices.

A plaqueira pode fazer a massa ficar na espessura que melhor se adaptar ao trabalho. Jogada no molde de gesso o trabalho fica ainda mais facil.
Noel approche, j'ai mis par ecrit mon idee de cadre a realiser en carton pour encadrer un carnet Moleskine petit format.
L'idee est d'avoir la possibilite de sortir le carnet par le coté afin de pouvoir tourner les pages.
A realiser en carton collé, puis le recouvrir d'un papier sympa.
A decouvrir realise par ma soeur ;-) a Noel!
Com a massa de porcelana (pasta dura) elos vão sendo formados com pequenos discos feitos com vazadores.
Aqui pela internet ví alguns anéis em cerâmica e estou tentando fazer, para ver como ficam. Nestes, usei porcelana e esculpi à mão, já estão quase secos. Fiz os aros bem maiores, porque com as queimas vai retrair bastante. Para dar cor às letras, usei oxido de cobalto.

First try of my new scan: epson V700...
the original file is at 3200 dpi (it give something like 6000x5000 resolution size)....
my first thinking:
it's very difficult to use !
my two option:
- use the software epson scan...seems too soft at first.
- use the silverfast SE given with...not good interface or option...so i need to found a better scan software...maybe silvefast studio or AI, or vuescan...will try each.
other thinking: need to buy something to push dust out of print...here i just work 5minutes on photoshop, but it need probably one hour to remove all dust and scratch and work on burn/dodge and micro contrast....
but there is massive amount of data to work on....and i need to found quickly a way of work bcz next week i will have:
- my 4 old rolls treated (= 4x15 photos: provia 100F, neopan 400, Tmax400)
- 7 rolls of fuji color NPZ 8OO (=7x15)
- 10 rolls of HP5 plus push two stops (= 150 photos)
- 2 rolls of other neopan 400
- 2 rolls of ilford Fpan50
c'est la merde !!! et la fac qui me réclame du fric pour 3 cours par an, le maire d'angers qui veut ma taxe d'habitation pour fabriquer un tramway de merde dans une ville plus petite qu'un arrondissement parisien....sans compter les impots qui me taxera plus de 2000€ alors que je bosse à un taux horaire inférieur au smic (ouais je travaille plus pour gagner plus...pas pour payer des impots !)
bref c la MERDE ! et ça m'énerve
"Untitled" by Jef Meyer (B)
location: Beach at the end of Louis Logierlaan
Middelkerke - Westende, Belgium
(Beaufort24)
The Beaufort Triennale is in its eighth edition. Beaufort24 presents 18 new works of art in the unique setting of the Belgian Coast.
Jef Meyer has a preference for concrete, a material that allows for endless variations of the end product. Adding lime or sand results in a completely different outcome, and different drying times in summer or winter significantly impact the appearance. Rain releases the lime again, and the pressure of pouring causes the concrete to bulge – the trick is to not let it crack. Convex panels capture the light, reflecting it. Traces of the making process are consciously visible: spots and drops add character, akin to the lines in marble. This artwork is far from polished; instead, it is rough and alive. The entire piece was created with just one mould. To form the doorway, the mould was turned over, and the contours of the door are still visible – a celebration of imperfection’s beauty. Because the work is, or appears to be, unfinished, the viewer's imagination is all the more stimulated.
The darkness draws you in, making you follow the twilight towards the brightness until you are rewarded with a sea view.

De Beaufort Triënnale is aan zijn achtste editie toe. Beaufort24 presenteert 18 nieuwe kunstwerken in het unieke kader van de Belgische Kust.
Jef Meyer heeft een voorliefde voor beton: een materie die tijdens het produceren eindeloze variatie in het eindproduct toelaat. Kalk of zand toevoegen geeft een heel ander resultaat. Verschillende droogtijden in de zomer of winter beïnvloeden het uitzicht net zozeer. Door regen komt de kalk terug vrij. Door de druk van het gieten, komt het beton bol te staan – de kunst is om het net niet te laten barsten. De bolle panelen vangen het licht op en kaatsen het terug. Je ziet bewust sporen van het maakproces: de vlekken en druppels verlenen karakter, zoals het lijnenspel in marmer. Dit werk is allesbehalve gepolijst, maar net ruw en levend. Heel dit werk is met slechts één mal gemaakt. Om de deuropening te maken werd de mal omgedraaid. Je ziet nog contouren van de deur: de schoonheid van het imperfecte. Doordat een werk onaf is - of lijkt - wordt de fantasie van de kijker des te meer aangesproken.
Je wordt naar binnen gezogen in de duisternis en je volgt de schemering naar het licht, tot je beloond wordt met een zicht op zee.

La Triennale Beaufort en est à sa huitième édition. Beaufort24 présente 18 nouvelles œuvres d'art dans le cadre unique de la Côte Belge.
Jef Meyer a une prédilection pour le béton : un matériau qui permet de modifier à l'infini le produit final au cours de la production. L'ajout de chaux ou de sable donne un résultat complètement différent. Des temps de séchage qui varient selon que ce soit l’été ou l’hiver influencent tout autant l'aspect du résultat obtenu. La pluie provoque la réapparition de la chaux. Sous la pression de la coulée, le béton se bombe et il faut veiller à ce qu’il ne se fissure pas. Les panneaux convexes captent la lumière et la réfléchissent. Des traces du processus de fabrication sont volontairement apparentes ici: les taches et les gouttes donnent du caractère, semblables aux jeux de lignes dans le marbre. Loin d'être polie, cette œuvre est brute et vivante. L'ensemble de cette installation a été réalisé à l'aide d'un seul moule. Pour fabriquer la porte, le moule a été retourné et l'on peut encore voir les contours qui symbolisent la beauté de l'imparfait. Le fait qu'une œuvre soit ou semble inachevée sollicite d'autant plus l'imagination du spectateur.
Vous êtes comme happé à l'intérieur dans l'obscurité et vous suivez le clair-obscur qui vous guide vers la lumière, jusqu'à ce que vous soyez récompensé par la vue sur la mer.
