Arcata, California A one year anniversary of sorts on the 1st ever Chainsaw Carving Sculpture Championships held in the Netherlands. A photo diary, leading up to it.

A Tin Tin exhibit in Oestend, Belgium

A rad burnt wooden very giant sculpture oustide the train station in Bruges.

Sofie peeping in the peep hole. Art installation created by Valerie, lady on left.

The Rijksmuseum.

Bicycles rule in Amsterdam, and I rode mine to the Van Gogh museum.

Steet artist juggling chainsaw, while eating an apple. Very funny guy.

The flower connection at the tulip museum.

On the the Veluwe park, a moraine created by glaciers. In the middle of the park is a museum, perhaps featuring the best collection of sculpture in Europe. Only way to get to the museum is by white bicycle, located at the entrances. A live video installation of the park, I stepped in front of the camera, resulting in me being in the moraine.

Primitive chainsaw art? at the Veluwe! By A.R. Penck born 1939 in Dresden former East Germany.
