• A motorway for fish
• A rather slimy pond

• Jesus is at a party where people are drinking and making bad decisions and he is sorting them out
• It looks like God is having a feast with friends
• Jesus is having a picnic

Van Gogh – Starry Night

• Bethlehem with a tree tower in the galaxy
• You can see anything how you want to, you just have to imagine
• The Gods have come out in the night

Monet – Cathedral de Rouen

• Looks like a church made of triangles.
