Another week of inspiration on Pinterest

by Kathleen Connally
Connally’s photoblog is all about the place she lives in: Durham Township, Pennsylvania. Her landscape photography is the most interesting.

“This project began from the theory that humans are made of cosmic matter as a result of a stars death.” says the photographer on his website. It’s an interesting project with moving (gif) images.

Pink and mint
Lovely color combination although I wouldn’t paint my own house that way.

Geometric paper containers free printable
Handy and free storage which also looks pretty.

Whimsical storage, found on Ikea Family
Colourful storage idea

Christmas!
November has just began but already all the shops are filled with Christmas products so I’m already gathering idea’s and products for next Christmas. I really like christmas. I don’t celebrate it as the Christian Christmas but more like the Yule feast: a time of cosiness, being together, lights that brighten up the dark days, beautiful nature, etc.

Photo ornaments
Christmas idea; diy photo ornaments.

Last summer I went to Berlin for a week where I visited lots of interesting locations including the abandoned amusement park Spreepark. The park, then called “Kulturpark Plänterwald”, was opened in 1969 because east Germany wanted to have an amusement park just like the west (there they had Phantasialand in Brühl). The park had a lot of visitors, around 1.5 million, but then all changed in 1999 when they got into a quarrel with the local government about the size of the park, the parking space and the busy roads because of the park. In 2001 the park only had 400.000 visitors and shortly afterwards closed down because it went bankrupt. The owner of the park tried to ship 6 attractions to Lima for “repairs” but in reality he hid 180 kg of cocaine in the attractions and he was arrested. The park closed down and was abandoned since 2002. The German bank sold half of the attractions but the remaining attractions are still there and are now being taken over by nature.
You can’t just walk into the park to have a look because security is guarding the place, but because of all the people that were illegally trying to get in they’ve now arranged some ways to get into the park. One of the old train attractions is working again and for a few euros you can take a ride around the park. Another way to get in is to go an organized tour, that’s what we did. The tour was in German and the guy was speaking very fast so I didn’t understand a lot of it.. But that was not really a problem because the main reason we want to get in was to see the place and make photos. It was a really spooky place. Apart from the group we were in it was very quiet with in the background a screeching noise of the old ferris wheel which was pushed around by the wind. I made a short movie of it, you can view it here.
