me news
the colour of the netherlands
fascinating project which aims to document the whole of the netherlands by the age of its 9,866,539 buildings
zoom in and have a look at amsterdam for example; although i believe the data is not 100% accurate… it provides a beautiful visualisation of the countries’ history (via this site)
fake scenes
a noteworthy experiment in the irish town of bushmills (yes from the whisky): the town has been suffering an economic depression and locals have raised funds to decorate empty buildings with fake scenes depicting a series of shops and homes, complete with people in the windows… i find this idea weird and great at the same time…
apparently the project has had some success in finding new owners for the deserted properties… story via pinar & viola

hijweege app
undoubtedly not the first of its kind, but this portfolio app by local photographer erik hijweege is one of the first i have seen, the app currently only contains his acclaimed ‘holland’ tilt-shift series… but he promises to add more work in the near future
