A fascinating journey along the eyes of animals
€ 49,90A fly has two eyes, but they consist of hundreds of separate parts, each with its own lens. The eyes of rabbits are implanted sideways to see danger coming. What do all eyes have in common? They all do “something” with light. The renowned ophthalmologist Dr Frank J. Goes takes you on a fascinating journey along the eyes of animals. Changing climate, continental drift and the amount of oxygen in the air influenced the development of animal species and their eyes. Colour vision, sharpness, nearsighted or farsighted, facet eyes, eyes on stalks. The variation is endless, but animals always have eyes adapted to the search for food and survival.
DR. FRANK J. GOES is a consultant at the Goes Eye Center in Antwerp, which he founded in 1969. In addition to his activities as an ophthalmologist, he is also a lecturer at Ehsal high school,
an ambassador for the NGO ‘Light for the World’ and a consultant in medical legal matters.

omgebouwd busje is beeldend kunstenaar Tryntsje Nauta op bezoek geweest bij alle drieënnegentig Friese bakkers om hun oranjekoek te documenteren.Safolle bakkers, safolle oranjekoeken. In Frysk feest is net kompleet sûnder oranjekoeke. It swiete banket hat in lange histoarje en is útgroeid ta in feestlik symboal. Mar sa as ‘dè Fries’ net bestiet, hat ek dè oranjekoeke in soad ferskiningsfoarmen. Yn in ta fotostudio omboud buske gie keunstner Tryntsje Nauta op besite by alle trijeennjoggentich bakkers om harren oranjekoeke te fotografearjen.
There are as many oranjekoeken as there are bakeries. A Frisian party is not complete without oranjekoek. This sweet pastry has a long history and has gradually developed into a festive Frisian icon. But just as there is no stereotypical Frisian, likewise oranjekoek comes in many forms. In a minibus converted into a photographic studio photographer Tryntsje Nauta visited all the ninety-three bakeries to photograph their oranjekoek.
