slave huts of bonaire

These huts housed the slaves who were used to harvest salt, still a major export of Bonaire. Not to take anything away from the misery of slave life, but the huts, smack on the beach at water’s edge, are rather beautiful. These two photos were taken by Alida Thorpe, my favorite Fire Island photographer. Check out her galleries at pbase and spend some time at her blog, Long Island Woman.

westlakebridge cottage project

Good Project, Good Blog: This is our story about building a vacation house - not the traditional wooden ’swiss chalet’-like weekend cabin - but a modern almost all glass and steel construction, conceived as a bridge over a pond and located walking distance from the Goor-Asbroek nature reserve in a village called Westmeerbeek, hence Westlakebridge.

longhouse

Quite a while ago I had seen Eric Reinholdt’s blog, Longhouse, chronicling his and his family’s build of a new house up in Maine, and we exchanged emails a couple of times. Nice guy. I made a note to check in every once in while, but you know how that goes. Checking in again recently, I was extremely pleased to see how far they’ve come along! This is a great project, a well written blog, with lots of photos and plan layouts, and…. well, go see for yourself.
