Photofestival Noorderlicht 2014

What I like very much is visting photofestivals, so last sunday we went up to the north part of the country to the annually "Noorderlicht Photofestival" (Northern Light) in Leeuwarden. Last year the exhibition was in Groningen in an old Sugar factory, which we visited, see the link here. The nice part of the festival is that the exhibitions are spread over the city in unusual locations. The main exhibition was however not so unusual but held in the  new Fries Museum delivered in 2012.

The museum has a great view over the city from the top floor and people were enjoying it sitting is chairs.

The second location was in a shopping mall.

Which was still under construction.

The third location was in the courtyard of this old building from 1874 which used to be a prison, but now is a cultural centre with workshops for artists.

Here the photos were exhibited in the open air.

The right one could be me, blow-dry my hair, ha,ha.

Windows

In the cafe of the former sugar factory in Groningen this ship brigthened up the window.

And here a dirty window in the same factory where Renate and  Dirrianne expressed their love.

Here you see how the photos were exhibit, attached to iron rods.

There were many visitors who were impressed by the building and making photos.

This was a picture from Shanghai of a confectioner who had made a handbag and dog of chocolate.

And here hubby sitting on a comfortable sofa in the cafe.

Photofestival Noorderlicht 2013

Last Sunday we had the worst rainy day ever, after a night of heavy no stop rains, it went on the whole day long. We had planned a visit to the photo exhibition "Noorderlicht" in Groningen in the north of the country 160 km away. We decided to go anyway as it was the last day of the exhibit. 

Well this was what we saw for one hour and a half, like driving in a shower.

But when we arrived the rain had stopped and we even had a blue sky. The exhibition was in a former sugarfactory which was partly demolished  and situated at a dreary area. It was rather exciting to watch the building.

The outside was an exhibition in its own way, great to make some photos.

The inside was fun too, this was the cafe where we had a cup of tea with a piece of cake made of suger beets and cooking-pears with some sour cream, very biological made. Tomorrow I'll show you more of the exhibition, in the meantime you can watch hubby's blog sccollections with his photos.
