De knijper

We zijn aan het fietsen, Jan houdt ervan flink op de pedalen te staan, mijn tong hangt bijna op het stuur, geen ideale positie. In het park staat even van het pad verwijderd, een kunstwerk: een flathoog houten bouwwerk in de vorm van een wasknijper. Jan heeft nooit oog voor kunst, ik vind het wel grappig, het lijkt net of de pin een berg gras vasthoudt en wil het graag van dichterbij bekijken. Maar cultuurbarbaar Jan heeft hier geen boodschap aan. De onderliggende afstand groeit.
  
'Hé, Jan, fiets niet zo snel! Kijk eens om je heen, geniet van de natuur!'
Jan houdt even in, kijkt schichtig naar links. 'Ik fiets niet voor niets zo hard. Zie je die enorme knijper? Die staat voor onraad. De grond golft, de aarde beweegt, ik zeg je, er is iets niet pluis!'
'Dat is gewoon een kunstobject.'
'Nee, het lijkt in de verste verte niet op kunst. Het is een reuzenknijper, hoor je? De knijper van een reus! En zie je waar die op staat?'
Mijn hart bonkt, ik heb zijn interesse gewekt, nu nonchalance veinzen.
'Op een grasheuveltje. Wat boeit dat nou.'
'Voel je de aarde niet trillen? Het is geen gewone grasheuvel, zeker weten van niet!'
'En, Jan, wat zou het volgens jou dan wel zijn?'
'Een vermomde reus. Hij ligt. Hij slaapt. Onrustig. Hij slaapt onrustig. Ik zou er ook onrustig van worden wanneer ik onder graszoden lig.'
'En de knijper die staat zeker op zijn neus,' ik hoor hoe belachelijk dit klinkt, zijn fantasie heeft een loopje met hem genomen. 'Hahaha, Jan, volgens mij heb je een Daniaanse besmetting opgelopen.'
'Lach niet! Het is zo. De knijper staat op zijn neus.'
'En waarom dan wel?'
'Om het snurken tegen te gaan, duh.'
'En waar haal je die wijsheid nou weer vandaan?'
'Hoor je iemand snurken?'
'Nee.'
'Nou dan! Feiten liegen niet. Ik zeg je, we moeten snel doorfietsen, voordat de reus wakker wordt.'
'En waarom zou de reus dan wakker worden?'
'Iedereen wordt na verloop van tijd wakker. Alleen in sprookjes slaapt een enkeling honderd jaar.'
'Daar is geen speld tussen te krijgen. Maar wacht, ik wil eerst een foto ervan maken! Je ziet niet alle dagen een reuzenknijper.'
'Ik app wel even naar de andere kant van het park. Daar staan ook al een paar onnozele individuen te kijken, die kunnen wel een plaatje schieten, staan wij er ook op.'
'Strak plan!'
Jan verstuurt het appje en we vervolgen onze weg.

art is an imaginative visual element that everyone looks and feels it in a particular way in some cases is not understood but attracts eyes therefore stopping at least will serve one to rest and the other to enjoy the other is that I recommend buying a motorcycle

An enlarged clothespin might be a nice find, but with “art” this has nothing to do with. In that I can't blame your husband.

The ability to transform everyday events into hyperrealism or even surrealism is very interesting. Thus, what is normal becomes a fairy tale. This is like becoming children again, seeing things as they see them, capturing all the details, transforming them into magic and poetry.

it is better to pedal and enjoy the landscape admire all the beauty that surrounds us, but if we want to lose weight we should focus on pedaling as if there was no tomorrow. very nice story how juan used the words to convince him to continue on the pedal without stopping.

What a movement in your story. The giant pincher as a work of art suddenly gets a story. It's how you look at it and yes the funny thing is that everyone can make their story. Maybe a nice idea for a #QA blog. Photo and then let everyone fill in what he/she sees in the photo.
