The Island

In the main square of my home town you can see a strange construction in front of the town hall. On three meters of scaffolding is a round, saucer-like shape with grass on top which one can access by an aluminium ladder.

The construction is an art object by the German artist Christian Hasucha and will be standing in the centre of Lier until the 3rd of June. One can reserve the space via the Lier Tourist site (using my pictures without a name reference... never heard of author rights in this town...).

During the first weekend my son Bert and his girlfriend Liesbeth had reserved the island to put up a tent and spend the night. We had a peaceful moment on the island and I took the opportunity to take a number of pictures.

One was a big panoramic view of the main square of Lier.


But there was also a vertical shot of the islanders and their background.
