Living in Gemert it is always interesting to look at the things around you and wonder.  I was in ‘t Ridderhof a few weeks ago in the hall. Have you ever looked closely at the balustrade, not just through or over it?
You may be surprised if you ever get a chance to look again, I took a picture; then I took another one closer up this time.  I saw a lady in a swim suit, or in fact three per section. I asked our friends who have been in Gemert for more than 50 years if they had noticed ladies in swimsuits; no one had.  
In homage to this ‘old’ iron structure designed by someone who may have had a sense of humour or eye for design I created a section in stained glass. A combination of colours bring out the design.  What do you think, am I seeing things?
