Many thanks to Simone Boria and Reinhard Winkler for beautiful photographs.

When the guests arrived, Eleonore was just a little bit different than at the usual Donautics meetings.

The guests were welcomed by Lady Mermaid...

... and they could see Lady Fish living below decks...

...with the elusive Lyon Laon...

All were welcome  ......here is Xav......

.........and Henk........

.........and Alessio.,,,......

As the guests arrived on upper deck, between the world of people and dreams...

...they could observe Lady Bridge having her cup of tea...

And as Lady Bridge made her last lamp...

...they were asked to...,,,

....to send to the sea....

Soon it was time for the story of Eleonore to be told in light and shadows...

Later they gave their wishes to the Whale...

...with the help of a pulley, Lady Bridge and her sister passed the wishes to the Whale,

each to be exchanged for a small light promising the wish will come true!

And then it was time to leave...

.. Nobody said it,

but it was clear to everyone,

that one would not take to sea so soon,

again....

There is also a curators statement to this residency.
