Castling Queen's Side/ Sunday Sideshow

Hey folks

Finally a band from my hometown (Zurich/Switzerland) whose music is so great that I sincerely hope they conquer the world. Here's their Facebook Profile. Don't be put off by the German language. Just scroll down to 'Musikplayer' and enjoy their music.
If, but only if you like lyrics you can appreciate these folks as well. A lot of poetry in their songs but the melodies alone are enough to love them, in my opinion.

Urban exploring: What can Van Gogh do for you?

Next time you're in a bookshop or pass a library go to the art section. Find one of these nice big coffee table books and check out Vincent Van Gogh's paintings made in Asnières. Skip the famous starry night and all that for now. If you like any of the paintings you might try to get hold of a postcard with that image on it.
Next time you pass any body of water, a fountain, lake or even a puddle would do; tell me what do you see?
If you trust me do it. If you don't do it with the painter of your choice but don't focus on the most famous work.
