Week 11/52: Flukt (Escape)

Flowerpower - © Jelrik Nylund-van Berkel

The theme that Sonia chose this week for the project x/52 was "FLUKT" or in English "escape". It matched very well my program this week since I was planning a  two day trip to Belgium. Immediately came the word "plane" through my head but then I started thinking a little deeper on the subject "escape " I thought of a small statue in the city "Leuven" in Belgium which shows a student who has opened his skull and pours beer in the head. Thought it was funny to take a picture of a symbol for students fleeing in beer and fun when it gets too heavy to study. Great was my amazement that on the spot where the statue was, there now was a big gap since the municipality is building a new sewagesystem (kloakk). The statue was temporarely in a warehouse.

When me and my wife got married, my parents took a little "blåveis"-flower from the cabin and planted it in the garden in Belgium. Each year, this blåveis is open long before the snow is gone here in Norway. This blåveis in a way escaped from cold Norway to enjoy the Belgian spring with lovely weather early in the year (it was now 18 degrees down there). At the same time I took a little escape from the Norwegian snow by watching this little beautiful flower and dreaming forward to the fantastic springtime coming to Norway
