The Moonhouse expedition prides itself not of standing on the shoulders of giants but on the shoulders of each other as stated in the Moonhouse Manifesto. Here is one execption that proves the rule. On September 18, Emil Vinterhav brough Moonhouse #2.24 to ”Tages Hörna” in Linköping where we find a statue of Tage Danielsson, entertainer, poet, activist and a giant not only in his accomplishements but in his moral stature. The Moonhouse with Tage Danielsson is in good hands as illustrated below. From now on Moonhouse #2.24 will be named ”The Giant” in honour of Tage Danielsson.

We congratulate Emil on his successful expedition and wish him fair wind on his coming adventures.

From his ongoing expedition in the American Mid west Robin Lilja sends us these beautiful pictures. With the starkness and the desolation of the terrain and scenery in images, the Moonhouse is quite thorougly tested for artistic properties in Moon-like environments. When Robin sends us a picture of the house bright lit with a black sky in the background we will really know.
