Beth and I hit a great show last weekend over in the artist colony of Ruigoord just outside of Amsterdam. If you remember from my Copenhagen post, Ruigoord is the sister village of Christiania. Don't get me wrong...Christiania is the mothership and 100 times larger than Ruigoord. But I was disappointed with the pictures that I took there and thought that I'd post again from Ruigoord to try and better capture that hippie vibe. (the 2008 Dorpsjuweel from Eric van der Munnik under the FOTO link of the Ruigoord site also has some good representative photo's).
Does this remind anyone of a certain house on Philadelphia Street in Indiana, PA way back in 1986?
A good example of a local hand-built house/studio - turf roof and all.
Nice use of colors and 2nd hand building materials.
Great covered patio!
One of the artists was from China, and built her house/studio to feel a bit more like home.
It was great being able to walk through the inside of the houses at this show. This one also looks somewhat familiar, doesn't it Meg?
THAT is one big pipe! (actually an Alpen horn).
The old church is the center of the community. The front field always welcomes anyone willing to pitch a tent and stay a while and the church itself is a bar/cafe/festival hall.
Hanging out at the church cafe.
This psychedelic wagon made for a great play set for the next generation of colonists.
