This photograph was taken early in the morning on Paul de Smet de Naeyerplein in Ghent, shortly after a light snowfall.
The square lies within the area that hosted the 1913 World Exhibition. Paul de Smet de Naeyer, former Belgian prime minister, served as the exhibition's honorary chairman, and the square was later named after him.
After the exhibition, the surrounding neighbourhood was developed into what became known as the Miljoenenkwartier. Built mainly during the 1920s and early 1930s, this residential district brought together villas and townhouses designed by leading Belgian architects. The area became known for its architectural variety and for the relative wealth of its first residents, which led to its nickname, the "Millionaires' Quarter."
At one end of the park stands the bronze sculpture Ros Beiaard and the Four Heemskinderen. Created for the 1913 World Exhibition, the monument has remained on this site ever since. Its size and weight ensured that it survived both the dismantling of the exhibition and the First World War.
The light snowfall and low winter sun simplify the scene, allowing the sculpture, its stepped stone base, and the surrounding trees to read clearly against the winter landscape.
From our project "Wounded Landscape | New Lakeland"
The Lusatian brown coal mining region is absolutely fascinating. Disused opencast mines are beeing flooded to make the largest artificial lakeland in Europe. We experience the evolution of a new, humanly transformed landscape. Here we see a new park landscape between the power plant Boxberg and lake Bärwald.

The rock is sandstone of the Kayenta Formation of the Glen Canyon Group, formed from deposits in braided stream environments, ~199.8 to ~188.775 million years ago, during the Hettangian, Sinemurian, and Pliensbachian ages of the Early Jurassic epoch in the Mesozoic era (per Macrostrat).

Hallidays Point / Black Head — skate park
A short history & timeline
A local Hallidays Point Skatepark committee and many residents campaigned for a skate facility for years (community surveys collected hundreds of responses during the consultation phase).
Site selection & early council work (2019–2021)
MidCoast Council considered a number of possible sites and in 2020 commissioned assessments (including a biodiversity/tree assessment) of options within Wylie Breckenridge Park at Black Head. That park was eventually chosen as the preferred site.
Regional planning
The MidCoast Skatepark Strategy (adopted 13 Dec 2023) helped formalise priorities for skate facilities across the region and supported delivering a Hallidays Point park.
Tender, funding and construction
The tender to build the Hallidays Point/Black Head skate park was awarded (VFG Skate Parks Pty Ltd) after council consideration in late February 2025; the project had strong community input to location and design.
Funding: the project was funded by a $435,000 NSW Government Stronger Country Communities Fund grant plus council developer contribution funds. Construction began in March 2025.
Weather delays pushed completion past the original end-of-June timetable.
Opening & facilities (October–November 2025)
The park opened to the public on Saturday 10 October 2025. The facility includes a large bowl, a street section, several transition areas, gardens and seating, and retains natural shade from existing trees at Wylie Breckenridge Park.
An official community Grand Opening Celebration (hosted by the Lions Club of Hallidays Point) is scheduled for Sunday 16 November 2025.
Community context & ongoing notes
The park had been a long-standing local priority — locals say it took about “30 years” of advocacy to get it over the line
The Black Head Bazaar / market organisers monitored how the new facility might affect market layout during its construction.

In Badlands National Park, South Dakota, on September 3rd, 2019, at the Yellow Mounds Overlook on the south side of South Dakota Highway 240, at Dillon Pass in Conata Township in Pennington County.
This portion of the hill consists mainly of the Yellow Mounds Paleosol Series, an ancient pedogenic modification of Late Cretaceous rocks of the Fox Hills Formation and Pierre Shale. Near the top are areas of the red Interior Palesol Series, an ancient pedogenic modification of Eocene rocks of the Chamberlain Pass Formation.
