“If you live in the Belgian coastal village of De Haan and find yourself in need of a rest some recent additions to the town’s provision of benches might make you lift an eyebrow before you sit yourself down. They add a whole new dimension to the phrase I didn’t know where to put myself. The benches are not, as you may well suspect, the latest gift of a whacked out municipality to an unsuspecting public, however. They do, though, serve as real benches and are not safely ensconced in an art gallery. These crazy benches are artist Jeppe Hein’s creations and he wants you to sit on them.” w/ photos

“Sunbeams are everywhere – yet when they are caught on camera they are often unwanted additions to a photograph. They cut swathes through the picture, chopping off heads and obscuring detail in a burst of light. However, when they are deliberately captured the results can be nothing short of magical. Sunbeams have a rather more scientific name – and that is crepuscular rays. This is because of the time of day at which they are most likely to occur – those around dawn and dusk. In photography these times are often referred to as The Golden Hour.” w/ photos
