CATERPILLAR ON THE BEACH
Fancy meeting one of these on the beach in "Cure Island in the North Sea! A place where only electric cars, bikes and buggies are allowed. Make for an interesting vacation and also some good material for a painting right out of the class window! So...

MEERES LAUCHTEN
"Ocean Lights"
Witnessed in the North Sea off the coast of Wangerooge Germany in spring of 1994. While sitting in a Strand Korb (Beach Basket) with a friend one very dark and gloomy evening... Watching the waves touched by ein bischen (a bit) of moonlight. A cloud let more light through and an amazing sight grabbed our attention.
There before us was the most spectacular event I had ever witnessed. Florescent green waves for just a fraction of a second on the tops of the water! Wow! It truly changed my life to see something so unreal yet I knew I had seen them. Blink your eyes and you miss it. Later on, I could not get this vision out of my head, so I put it on paper.
An experience like this only happens at a certain time of the year. The light and the ocean animals have to be at just the right spot. Very few people have witnessed this and I feel very privileged to be one of those few.

ORGAN MOUNTAINS
"Twilight Silhouette"
The Organ Mountains are located in New Mexico. Called this because of their pipe organ shapes. As I gazed at this mountain range one evening I knew that one day I would have to record this memory. I was grateful that when the time came this mental photographed appeared.
