    A fascinating journey along the eyes of animals

    A 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.

    Spegel en sonde

    As toskedoktersassistinte Doutsen (echtgenoate, mem en minneres) in nije baas krijt, giet der ynienen in soad mis. Om’t se it iene nei it oare ferjit, minsken net mear werkent en regelmjittich it paad bjuster is, rekket se yn panyk. Se driget de kontrôle oer har libben te ferliezen en lit it yn har omgean har eardere berop fan byldzjend keunstner wer op te krijen. As Anniek, har suster dy’t se tsientallen jierren net troffen hat, kontakt opnimt, komt alles yn in streamfersnelling en komme dingen oan it ljocht dy’t Doutsen har hiele libben ferswijd hat. Wat is der eins bard yn it ferline?

    Op meinimmende wize fertelt Jetske Bilker dit oangripende, en bytiden humoristyske, ferhaal oer geheugen, de eangst foar alzheimer en famyljebannen.

    Fan Jetske Bilker (1960) ferskynde earder de roman It libben fan in oar, dy’t nominearre waard foar de Gysbert Japicxpriis.

    Oranjekoek

    Zoveel Friese bakkers, zoveel oranjekoeken. Een Fries feest is niet compleet zonder oranjekoek. Het zoete banket kent een lange historie en is uitgegroeid tot een feestelijk symbool. Maar zoals ‘dé Fries’ niet bestaat, heeft ook dé oranjekoek vele verschijningsvormen. In een tot fotostudio
    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.
