A fascinating, arguably beautiful 2009 timelapse video capturing the growth of various forms of mould by Russian photographer Nick Lariontsev.

Try to imagine it as a wordless documentary about changing seasons on an alien planet.

Twas two nights before Patrick’s Day.

Not a creature was rolling.

Eva writes:

just wanted to get in touch about our St Patricks Eve celebrations in Splendor a newly opened music centre in the heart of Amsterdam.

It’s day for the whole family, Irish, Dutch, mixed or anyone with an interest in Ireland. From learning Céilí dancing, to Irish music workshops and later that afternoon top Irish pianist Finghin Collins will perform.

Later Julie Feeney joins Dutch classical musicians from the Royal Concertgebouw and Radio Philharmonic Orchestra. The day finishes off with a Dutch/Irish comedianDolf  Jansensharing stories about his Irish roots and adventures in Ireland.

We are building this festival up, and its only year 2 so we have big plans for our Irish future here in Amsterdam!
