A former shop of porcelain and table crystal in the ‘Grasmarkt’ old Brussels city centre, has been taken over. Behind the shop windows we can now see fluffy animals and boxes for children. Today, it would be no problem to enter this shop in your shorts and sneakers; different times bring different habits and needs.

This year the tapestry has been cancelled due to Covid-19. In 2016 it was nearly cancelled because of the terrorist attacks in Brussels that happened in March. But it was not cancelled after all. The theme of the design in 2016 was: Japan. Let us hope that great cultural events are no longer cancelled from now on.
Brussels - Belgium for the propagation of beauty in the world:
On top of the water there is a tank "CLICK IT" and it submerges you into the polluted depths of a new place. OPENS JULY 21st- August 6th. maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Thor/121/84/7
Taken at the Sunshine Carnival in my hometown. It's always a great atmosphere and photographic opportunity to join the parade and soak up the sun.
Hopefully it will be back next year, as this year's has been cancelled due to Covid.
After 4 years of absence, finally we have our flower carpet again on our Grand Place in Brussels. It is made of Begonias and Dahlias (the latter which are more heat-resistant) and of coloured wood chips. This year’s theme is about the very first carpet from 1971 and today’s display is a memorial interpretation of this very first carpet. After several forced cancelations, I think this historical reflection theme is well-chosen, because all of our ‘established’ values and qualities should sometimes be thought over in that way, to avoid the mistake that we can take all these things for granted. It is not self-evident that we have a tapestry of flowers on our Grand Place every other year and now for 50 years and for the twenty-second time. Indeed, pandemics, heat waves and wars can also interfere with these decades-old treasures that became traditions and tourist attractions. We should not forget that the flowers come from somewhere and so are the skilful and motivated volunteers that construct the carpet for no pay.
I am also grateful for the patron who let me enter into his café to the highest floor to make my traditional overview photo; un grand merci pour vous! Elements of this year’s tapestry are (like in 1971) Saint George and the Dragon (at both ends) and the Belgian Lion. This is the last day of the exhibit and if all is well another tapestry will be here by mid-August in 2024.

There used to be a time that even on this Grand Place, cars could drive and park. It is hard to believe today, where Brussels is leading the way towards extended pedestrian areas and peripheral car parking facilities. This photo shows the ideal city as a place to meet fellow citizens; not a bad idea.

This photo was taken during the annual kite festival on the beach in front of Hotel De Blanke Top in Cadzand, where we spend a week each year with the family. The beach was lively with colors and movement, but I was drawn to this quieter moment in the sky. A line of small kites floated in the breeze, each spelling out "Vlieg bij Brut sur Mer" — a playful sky-high advertisement for the beach bistro just steps from the hotel. Above, two larger kites soared freely across the deep blue sky.
What stood out to me was how simple the scene was — just lines, color, and space, all working nicely together. Despite being a promotion, it resembled a drawing stretched across the sky.
Sometimes, simplicity is enough — a brief, beautiful visual moment, quietly impactful.

O emblemático coreto (Musikkpaviljongen), situado no coração do Byparken, o principal parque público de Bergen, Noruega, é um ponto de referência da cidade desde a sua inauguração em 1888. Oferecido à cidade pelo empresário e cônsul F. G. Gade, este coreto em ferro fundido, com a sua característica cúpula verde e estilo arquitetónico vitoriano com influências mouriscas, serve de palco para concertos ao ar livre, especialmente durante o verão, e constitui um elemento central do animado Julemarked (Mercado de Natal) de Bergen. Rodeado por canteiros meticulosamente cuidados, repletos de begónias e outras flores coloridas, o coreto integra-se numa paisagem pitoresca, entre o lago Lille Lungegårdsvann e a praça Festplassen, com as montanhas e a arquitetura tradicional norueguesa a completarem o cenário urbano da segunda maior cidade do país. A sua construção insere-se no desenvolvimento urbanístico do século XIX, associado à expansão da burguesia de Bergen.
The emblematic Musikkpaviljongen (bandstand), located in the heart of Byparken, the main public park in Bergen, Norway, has been a city landmark since its inauguration in 1888. Given to the city by businessman and consul F. G. Gade, this cast iron bandstand, with its characteristic green dome and Victorian architectural style with Moorish influences, serves as a stage for open-air concerts, especially during the summer, and is a central element of Bergen's lively Julemarked (Christmas Market). Surrounded by meticulously tended flowerbeds filled with begonias and other colorful flowers, the bandstand is part of a picturesque landscape between Lake Lille Lungegårdsvann and Festplassen Square, with the mountains and traditional Norwegian architecture completing the urban setting of the country's second largest city. Its construction is part of the urban development of the 19th century, associated with the expansion of Bergen's bourgeoisie.

O Festival Internacional de Jardins, que se realiza anualmente em Ponte de Lima de maio a outubro, é um evento que apresenta jardins efémeros e temáticos criados por artistas de várias partes do mundo. Desde a sua criação em 2005, o festival tem promovido a inovação na arquitetura paisagística, reunindo propostas de design de espaços verdes e sensibilizando para questões ambientais. A entrada para o recinto é marcada por uma pérgula metálica coberta de vegetação que conduz os visitantes a um percurso pavimentado, onde se destacam elementos pétreos com padrões geométricos, e onde se encontram as propostas de arquitetura paisagística de diversos países.

Since humans have invented motor cars, it drastically changes the efficiency of transportation. This machine is however more than just a means of transportation.
Many falls in love with this piece of machine. They kept the machine like a pet and there is a big emotional attachment to it too.
I went to the annual Steveston Classic Car Show. Let's hop on the wheel!
Happy Sunday!

and the reason that i laugh and breathe is oh love and the reason / that i do not fall into the street is love
Inspired when I saw a caption on my Instagram feed wondering why people read (alas can't remember who!). I will read just about anything nonfiction, I live and breathe in stories and between words and the sighs of stanzas -- why not read?
Books featured all have left a deep impression on me at the point of reading, though I'm not fond of some now at this stage of my life. ;D From bottom to top:
Harry Potter; Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Nineteen Minutes (I admit I picked this book because I needed another white cover to balance the photo)
Inheritance Cycle; Inheritance (and then I needed a black cover)
Kafka on the Shore
The Kingkiller Chronicles; The Name of the Wind
Stardust
The young girl in the Jazz band was singing the cover version of Cyndi Lauper's "Time after time". She has a very deep and low voice which is good for the performance of this song.
She is so young and I am guessing she was not born when this song was released and became very popular in 1983! :o)
Happy long weekend!

This is repost of candid shot taken at International Buskers Festival in 2015.
The following is the original story posted.
Happy weekend!
*******************************************************************************
Can you imagine the anxiety of a busker?
On the day of International Buskers Festival, the magician in the picture kept asking people to stay in the circle around him in the first 15 minutes (only a few did at the time) and so he would start the show you had never seen before.
I was one of the three persons who stayed around as his first audience. Finally he got enough people in a circle and he started his card tricks.
Can you feel his anxiety?
It is something like you had a picture posted to Flickr and you had only 50 views after 5 years? Of course we don't have the same anxiety because we are not making a living on Flickr!
Wish you a great Tuesday without any anxiety!
International Buskers Festival, downtown Vancouver. June 2015
你可以看到他的焦慮嗎？
他有一張撲克臉（意思是面無表情，試圖掩飾自己）。
表演前整整15分鐘，他乞求過路人留下來，看他的魔術表演。

I think my Flickr friends know that photographers are my favorite subject too. :o)
This is also from the International Buskers Festival last year.
Wish you a great weekend!
The following is the original story posted.
My friend is a very experienced amateur or semi-professional photographer. He had won many awards and held solo exhibitions of his works. He uses high end gear only such as full frame and medium format cameras.
I have asked him about his opinion on street photography. He replied street photography is "too easy" and something without challenge for him. He prefers only landscape and wildlife photography.
To him, street photography is easy because you need to find interesting subjects, interesting settings and a good match of these two things. Then you can get a good shot. Street photographers usually don't care much about image quality or quality of their gear. As a matter of fact,, many great works of street photography are done by small or compact cameras. Leica is only a myth and it cannot be compared to his grand medium format cameras.
On the other hand, landscape or wildlife photography requires all the techniques PLUS you need to travel the world in order to find your grand scenes and great subjects. It is much more challenging. You need lots of money and time for this. You cannot achieve a good shot easily just in your local neighbourhood.
It is like the difference between singing a simple folk song and singing the famous aria by the Queen of Night in Mozart's Magic Flute. What kind of singer you want to be?
Do you want to be a street photographer?
This is a portrait of a street photographer I took in Vancouver International Buskers Festival this year.
Wish you a great weekend!
