Deutsche Version dieses Postings

As mentioned in the previous posting, here are pictures of Simpelveld's post II by Andrew Waugh, shot in 2005. They complement my own pictures from 2015, when I took only a single shot at post II:

Simpelveld: An exhibition of interlocking frames - pictures by Andrew Waugh

Deutsche Version dieses Postings

More than 18 months ago, Andrew Waugh has sent me pictures from Simpelveld he made in May 2005. I confess that I have forgotten about them, but now I'll present them in two postings.

I present them now, after quite some time, in two postings, as a complement to my own pictures from 2015. Andrew's photos consist of a gallery of interlocking frames from a small exhibition at Simpelveld, which I show here; and an additional set of photos from post II, which I will present in the next posting.
