Cleaning the Eye: Still Lives everywhere!

This is a blog post from my friend Beatriz. I love her attitude to squeezing inspiration out of everything she sees.

One of the nice things about traveling is that somehow it cleans your “eye palette”. By visiting a new place and adjusting your vision to new images, signs and symbols, you are also more open to new images or to see in a different manner. This time I am in Utrecht, in the Netherlands, doing some teaching with the School of Governance and working with the Green Office and enjoying the city. Normally I travel with my husband or with colleagues, but this time I found myself on my own (which I truly like too!)… To be on my own makes me also more aware of the streets and the places, so I don’t get lost. Wandering around the city, I got in this lovely cafe called Stan&Co, a beautifully designed and inviting place.
