Winter or spring?

Ice-cream
A childhood's dream 

Location location

Not much progress has been made here. This is a prime real estate location in uptown Brussels, surrounded by exclusive shops.  It has looked like the middle picture for some time now and is quite an eye sore - not to mention a major blemish on the face of a city not exactly noted for wise urban development decisions. The third picture shows what is about to happen to this prime piece of real estate, but who knows how long that will take. I will keep an eye on this and keep you posted.

Creativity and diversity

Sometimes I ask not only if it is ok to take a picture but also what the accompanying text should say.   The young lady is from Ireland and  said she was not very sure if it was a good idea for her picture to be on a blog. She smiled while the man suggested  "La créativité et la diversité", creativity and diversity... a perfect title for this shot!

Back and Front

And suddenly, there it was, the feeling that spring came two weeks early..... and no-one was going to miss it.   Everyone was out and about and had a big smile and a sparkle in the eye,  ready to hit the town on this first real sunshiny day and to enjoy it to the fullest.
