It's been a while I know.. I have been busy.. really busy..
People who know me, know that I love Andalucia..
The country, the language, the horses,... and Flamenco!
Last weekend the Feria Andaluza took place in Boom : http://www.alandalus.be/
So I had to be there and take pictures..
Anyway photographing dancers is far more difficult than I expected!
Here's some results:

Helpfull hints from real photographers (to help me improve) are more than welcome !! ;)

It looks like my "oooh I love this, and ooh I love that"-day...
but I finally found a little time today to post some snippets on the internet.
The picture above is one of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp.
A magnificent building, the house I always wanted to live in (although I will need one or more cleaners), but first of all.. my favorite view in Antwerp.. so I captured it quickly.. but I do need a tripod. :D

and I like spending all day with them ...
even in snowy and wet weather conditions .. like today ;)

What to do on a cloudy Wednesday?
Well, we thought it was a good idea to pay a visit to the FotoMuseum in Antwerp.
First a walk through historical stuff , afterwards famous photographers from the past century, then a collection of pictures from Patrick de Spiegelaere. And finally an interactive exhibition called "Face On" (watch out slow interface) ... 24 portrait pictures from famous photographers plus contributions from all kind of photographers via the internet..this means accessible for everyone!
Including me.... So I thought.. why not give try it a try.
And I uploaded this picture yesterday evening, which resulted in an e-mail in my inbox this afternoon. It said my picture was accepted for the online and offline exhibition!
I am an itsy bitsy proud.. even though the quality of the picture is not fabulous.. I just love it because he's G-licious.. ;)

Did you notice them?
Yes, probably not only in Antwerp .. A hype among the citizens, the trendy peeps (read 'copycats').
Yes, in Antwerp it is now very fashionable to drive a old, second-hand (?) big JEEP, preferably a Defender.. With mud included!!
Really, a Defender is not a luxury car, not even a beautifull car. I know, because I was so "lucky" to drive one during a team-event (jeeej) in the Belgian Ardennes..
Yes, it's a fantastic car, for it's use .... It's use, that is: climbing over mountains, driving through river beds and on slippery roads without a problem. I really got convinced about how exceptionally useful such a car can be …. on the country, in the desert or in the woods.. Or if you need to transport horses, or other big things..
Yes .... but HOW (?!?) can this car be useful in the center of Antwerp? To easily get in the parking lot of your local grocery shop? To transport your 10 children to school (because it's ohhhh soooo safe)? For any other ludicrous reason?
Really unbelievable... Am I missing something, or is it me?
Oh yeah and btw: for those people who think that a jeep is safer then a normal car, it's not ..
Oh yeah and btw2: thanks to the jeep-peeps: there's even less parking space available now.. GREAT! Thank you! Good job!
Oh yeah and btw3: I hope the next car-hype is not a Hummer!
Say 'NO' to jeeps! Think, don't just copy!

Two weeks ago I moved Zingaro from his old stables http://www.geocities.com/alberdienst/Info.html to a new location near Sint-Niklaas: http://www.horsemac.be
Moving Zingaro was already on my to-do list for a while, but when I really got to it, it was really hard to decide ..
I left some really good friends (and some other freaks I really won't miss) at the old stables. But even though I hate leaving something behind, it feels like the right decision. Zingaro is more relaxed now, and so am I, although I have to drive 15 minutes instead of three and a half. ;)
Another thing that was not on my list, was moving to another -very nice- apartment. (See picture above)
But it's on my list now! Yes!! I am moving to a new apartment, and not "all byyyyy myyyy sellfff", but together with my super fantastic, super intelligent, super handsome and super sweet boyfriend. (I love you darling!) So, in fact we are moving at the end of April I hope.
And on top of this I feel the incredible urge to shoot some pictures, do something creative, publish some rubbish.. So I felt like starting with another dull, full of spelling-mistakes blog-entry. Thank you! Please come again. :D
