Finally got round to a trip across the river to tackle the Lloyds Building. It quite challenging as it's very different from every side/angle. It's a tough one for symmetry hunters.

This is Finance Tower, the second tallest building in Belgium.
The tallest building in Belgium is, like this one, in Brussels. It’s called ‘South Tower’ and you can find it right outside the Eurostar terminal.
I didn’t realise while I was taking photos of both of these buildings, spread quite far apart in Brussels, that they were indeed the tallest two in Belgium, so it was nice to learn this fact while writing this post.
Attempting to find out the name of the building above, I went on to Google Maps and retraced the steps I took while I as walking from central Brussels to the Atomium to find the building and figure out what it was. The fact I was there 9 months ago did not make this too easy, and made me wish I had a GPS device for my phone. Once found, I did a quick Google search and that’s when I realised it was the second tallest building.
It was only after my curiosity made me want to know what the tallest building in Belgium was that I found I had also taken photos of it on the same trip.
I seem to gravitate towards tall buildings I guess :)

Taken after that shot from the airport. Was supposed to go home straight but changed my mind and went to this place to see how a blue hour shot using the finance building as background will look like. Would have wanted some more light trails but it was an early friday evening so not many cars are out on the roads.

"There is great gain in godliness with contentment; for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world; but if we have food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and hurtful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all evils; it is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced their hearts with many pangs. "
- 1 Timothy 6:6-10.
This was today's first reading at Matins, and it prompted fresh reflection given the turmoil in the financial markets.
