You made the opening a night to remember ... to treasure really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People have asked how they find the exhibition ... GPS's have trouble with the precise location of the Peace Village, so the address is Peace Village Messines, Nieuwkerkestraat 9, B-8957 Messines (Mesen in Nederlands).  It's open Tuesday to Sunday each week - 9am till 5pm, until 28 February 2010. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is also a &lt;a href="http://www.peacevillage.be/en/index.php"&gt;routeplan &lt;/a&gt;on the website of the hostel hosting the exhibition - Messines Peace Village.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More news to follow in the days ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;The photograph ... still working in the hours before the opening.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3757981207676362724-1778998697525248877?l=liminalspacesonflandersfields.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liminalspacesonflandersfields.blogspot.com/feeds/1778998697525248877/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3757981207676362724&amp;postID=1778998697525248877&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3757981207676362724/posts/default/1778998697525248877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3757981207676362724/posts/default/1778998697525248877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liminalspacesonflandersfields.blogspot.com/2010/02/liminal-spaces-on-flanders-fields.html' title='The Liminal Spaces on Flanders Fields Exhibition Opened ...'/><author><name>womanwandering</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00273089782589416134</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QshLne6gj8o/TktoC8bZ9NI/AAAAAAAABT8/6CCrA6FebWI/s220/Di%2Bsmall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_09VEv3OmDow/S3hEjpwFPEI/AAAAAAAABQY/7_pc7GktjzM/s72-c/setting+up520.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757981207676362724.post-149738058383283151</id><published>2010-02-11T03:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-11T05:00:15.713-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Liminal Spaces - Flanders Fields Exhibition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Flanders Fields.

Het stadje lijkt zich te koesteren in de eerste zonnestralen. Ik ben al wel meer van dat prachtig uitzicht gaan genieten.  Nu is het al rust en vree, maar ik kan me best voorstellen dat het hier ooit anders is geweest...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voor deze foto gebruikte ik mijn Canon 40D met lens 24-70@70mm – f5,6 – 1/250 – ISO125&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Travelling on the right road in the north of France, crossing the Belgian boarder. On one of the ridges there is this beautiful sight of the “skyline” of the smallest town in Belgium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This photograph was taken on a wintery morning just after sunrise.  The little town seems to bask in the early sun. I’ve been here several times before to enjoy this view.  Now it is all quiet but I can imagine that it has been different in earlier days…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For this picture I used my Canon 40D with lens 24-70@70mm – f5,6 – 1/250 – ISO125&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3757981207676362724-3651762254861603673?l=liminalspacesonflandersfields.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liminalspacesonflandersfields.blogspot.com/feeds/3651762254861603673/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3757981207676362724&amp;postID=3651762254861603673&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3757981207676362724/posts/default/3651762254861603673'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3757981207676362724/posts/default/3651762254861603673'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liminalspacesonflandersfields.blogspot.com/2010/02/als-je-belgie-binnenkomt-coming-into.html' title='Als je België binnenkomt...

Het verwondert me steeds hoeveel mensen met fotocamera’s er een mooi beeld willen vastleggen.  En achter elk van die foto’s schuilt er een verhaal.  De foto wordt dan ook des te boeiender als je het verhaal erachter kent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik vraag me af welk verhaal er schuilt achter het plaatsen van dit kruisje.  Wat heeft iemand ertoe bewogen om dit kruisje te “planten” midden in een grasveld in een van de paviljoenen van Tyne Cot?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An awful lot of photographs are taken daily on Flanders Fields.  It surprises me every time how many people, with all sorts of cameras, want to take a beautiful photograph.  And behind every photograph is a story.  The photograph becomes far more interesting if one knows the story behind it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder what story can be behind the placing of this little cross.

Maar gezien het prachtig helder weer was heb ik de camera genomen en ben vertrokken.  Ik ben naar Tyne Cot begraafplaats geweest in Zonnebeke. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kijk even naar de diepblauwe lucht. Die reikt van hier tot aan de onsterfelijkheid.&lt;br /&gt;Voor deze foto gebruikte ik mijn Canon 5d MrkII met lens Tokina 10-17@17mm – f11 – 1/13 – iso 100&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I got up early this morning to organize some photographs for the coming exhibition but the weather was that good, with a nice clear sky, so I decided to pick up the camera and go for a walk.  I went to Tyne Cot Cemetery in Zonnebeke. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at the deep blue sky. It reaches from here till eternity.&lt;br /&gt;For the photograph, I used my Canon 5d MrkII with a Tokina 10-17@17mm lens – f11 – 1/13 – iso 100&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3757981207676362724-5091399518943263698?l=liminalspacesonflandersfields.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liminalspacesonflandersfields.blogspot.com/feeds/5091399518943263698/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3757981207676362724&amp;postID=5091399518943263698&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3757981207676362724/posts/default/5091399518943263698'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3757981207676362724/posts/default/5091399518943263698'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liminalspacesonflandersfields.blogspot.com/2010/01/carpe-diem.html' title='Carpe Diem…'/><author><name>womanwandering</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00273089782589416134</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QshLne6gj8o/TktoC8bZ9NI/AAAAAAAABT8/6CCrA6FebWI/s220/Di%2Bsmall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_09VEv3OmDow/S2WtUiuBS9I/AAAAAAAABPg/19kt3fqNjeg/s72-c/20100131_Zonnebeke_Tyne+Cot+01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757981207676362724.post-8630314501416680143</id><published>2010-01-27T07:22:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-27T07:30:25.091-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Liminal Spaces - Flanders Fields Exhibition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Flanders Fields.

I have met historians, guides, prime ministers, curators, actors, a director, Governor Generals, some remarkable military men and woman and truly lovely everyday Belgians too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then there are the days where I have looked up from my work in the press area and discovered I'm alongside the 'big boys' ... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't think we realise how many people there are behind the scenes.  I hope to introduce you to some of these people in our exhibition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tot straks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_09VEv3OmDow/S2BaZZqMjCI/AAAAAAAABPY/qri_aEaVOFI/s1600-h/Meet+the+Press,+Flanders+Fields..jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_09VEv3OmDow/S2BaZZqMjCI/AAAAAAAABPY/qri_aEaVOFI/s400/Meet+the+Press,+Flanders+Fields..jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431440543039917090" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3757981207676362724-8630314501416680143?l=liminalspacesonflandersfields.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liminalspacesonflandersfields.blogspot.com/feeds/8630314501416680143/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3757981207676362724&amp;postID=8630314501416680143&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3757981207676362724/posts/default/8630314501416680143'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3757981207676362724/posts/default/8630314501416680143'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liminalspacesonflandersfields.blogspot.com/2010/01/meet-press-flanders-fields.html' title='Meet the Press, Flanders Fields'/><author><name>womanwandering</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00273089782589416134</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QshLne6gj8o/TktoC8bZ9NI/AAAAAAAABT8/6CCrA6FebWI/s220/Di%2Bsmall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_09VEv3OmDow/S2BaZZqMjCI/AAAAAAAABPY/qri_aEaVOFI/s72-c/Meet+the+Press,+Flanders+Fields..jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757981207676362724.post-6129354174462509885</id><published>2010-01-24T08:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-24T08:42:17.483-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marc Dirkx Liminal Spaces - Flanders Fields Exhibition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marc Dirkx'/><title type='text'>Hill 145… Vimy ridge</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_09VEv3OmDow/S1x4Ktv957I/AAAAAAAABO0/KEHbDvyd96I/s1600-h/20091122_Westhoek_Vimy_Memorial+12.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_09VEv3OmDow/S1x4Ktv957I/AAAAAAAABO0/KEHbDvyd96I/s400/20091122_Westhoek_Vimy_Memorial+12.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430347376176785330" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dit beeld is een detail van het Canadian National Vimy Memorial ontworpen door Walter Seymour Allsward.

Aan een hechte warme vriendschap komt een einde.&lt;br /&gt;Marianne, een zeer speciale vriendin, wordt gecremeerd.&lt;br /&gt;Zij heeft jarenlang een strijd geleverd met een onzichtbare vijand maar heeft die strijd verloren.&lt;br /&gt;Op het veld van eer van het leven heeft zij in veler harten ongetwijfeld een speciale plaats verworven.&lt;br /&gt;Altijd klaar om anderen te steunen en helpen. Zowel in woord als in daad.&lt;br /&gt;Hongerigen voeden en dorstigen lessen...&lt;br /&gt;Sterkte aan de ganse familie en nabestaanden!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;De bijgevoegde foto is een panoramische kruisprojectie van de kerk van OLV van Smarten in Merksem.  Hiervoor gebruikte ik een Canon 40D met lens Tokina 12-24 op 12mm. Manueel – F11 – 0,8” – Iso 125&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also in memoriam: Marianne..&lt;br /&gt;Today is a sad day for me. A true warm friendship comes to an end.&lt;br /&gt;Marianne, a very special friend, will be cremated.  For years she battled an invisible enemy and finally lost.&lt;br /&gt;On life's field of honor she gained a place in many hearts, always ready with help and support, both in word and deed.  Feeding the hungry and slaking one’s thirst…&lt;br /&gt;My condolences to family and relatives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;The picture is a cross projection of the church of OLV van Smarten in Merksem.

But that was in full daylight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked and got permission to do the set again by artificial light.  So I went there today.  Have a look at the photograph of the statue of St George. It's really amazing ... the way the statue seems to look straight at you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gisterenavond heb ik de vrieskou getrotseerd om foto’s te gaan nemen in de St George’s Memorial Church in Ieper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die kerk is gewoon prachtig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Een paar maand geleden heb ik daar al een reeks opnames gemaakt.  Dat was toen bij vol daglicht.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik heb dan toestemming gevraagd en gekregen om de set nog eens over te doen bij kunstlicht.  Dus ben ik daar vandaag geweest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kijk even naar het beeld van St George.  Zelfs het beeld schijnt je vanop zijn sokkel achteraan in de kerk recht aan te kijken.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3757981207676362724-6156761049246317383?l=liminalspacesonflandersfields.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://liminalspacesonflandersfields.blogspot.com/feeds/6156761049246317383/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3757981207676362724&amp;postID=6156761049246317383&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3757981207676362724/posts/default/6156761049246317383'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3757981207676362724/posts/default/6156761049246317383'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liminalspacesonflandersfields.blogspot.com/2010/01/statue-of-st-george-ieper.html' title='The statue of St George, Ieper'/><author><name>womanwandering</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00273089782589416134</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QshLne6gj8o/TktoC8bZ9NI/AAAAAAAABT8/6CCrA6FebWI/s220/Di%2Bsmall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_09VEv3OmDow/S0SUVyU-_EI/AAAAAAAABM4/h4J7-M4yfaY/s72-c/20100105_Ieper_StGeorges_Statue+02.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757981207676362724.post-523103278215377670</id><published>2010-01-06T05:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-06T05:44:32.877-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Liminal Spaces - Flanders Fields Exhibition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Di Mackey'/><title type='text'>Wandering with Veterans from Other Wars</title><content type='html'>I have been visiting Flanders Fields for five years and during that time, I've had the extraordinary privilege of following people on their personal journeys into the past. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This photograph captures a New Zealand veteran from another generation, wandering among the tombstones of the fallen World War One soldiers.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_09VEv3OmDow/S0SSkMc1EZI/AAAAAAAABMw/kOKpOGYOx7Y/s1600-h/The+Dead.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

He warned me that it might be dangerous standing in the middle of the road taking pictures.  A good thing he doesn’t know how many pictures I have already taken standing in the middle of a road.  You often get fascinating views from the middle of a road.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t know… wherever I go with my tripod taking pictures I seem to attract policemen or safety guards…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photo was taken with a Canon 5D MrkII and lens Fisheye Tokina 10-17 at 17mm. Manual. F11 - 1”- Iso 400&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ieper: een zicht op de Menenstraat in de richting van de Belforttoren, de foto is getrokken binnen in de Menenpoort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Net na het nemen van deze foto werk ik vriendelijk terecht gewezen door een politie-agent.  Hij waarschuwde me dat het gevaarlijk kon zijn om foto’s te nemen terwijl ik midden op straat stond. Al goed dat hij niet kon vermoeden hoeveel foto’s ik al wel vanop het midden van een straat getrokken heb.  Een standpunt van op het midden van een straat geeft dikwijls opmerkelijke gezichten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Verbazingwekkend.... waar ik ook kom met mijn statief om foto’s te nemen schijnt het steeds politiemensen of bewakers aan te trekken...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; De foto is genomen met een Canon 5D MrkII met visooglens Tokina 10-17 op 17mm.
