Steps at the side of a sluice on the river Aire, taking the user direclty into... well, nature. So random, not sure why they were there, but a great contrast between the nature and the steps.
Traversed the river along the bank. The rocks were like oversized lilly pads perfect for photo opportunities.

This is the church wall of Sankt Nicolai church in Simrishamn, Skåne, Sweden. Churches in Sweden are struggling to keep their members since more and more people choose not to attend services. Sweden is one of the least religious countries in the world.
I just liked how this ladder was simply hung straight on the wall :)

Liège-Guillemins railway station is the main station of the city of Liège, the third largest city in Belgium. It is one of the most important hubs in the country and is one of the 3 Belgian stations on the high-speed rail network. The station is used by 36,000 people every day which makes it the tenth busiest station in Belgium.
History
In 1838, only three years after the first continental railway, a line linking Brussels and Ans, in the northern suburbs of Liège, was opened. The first railway station of Liège-Guillemins was inaugurated in May 1842, linking the valley to the upper Ans station. In 1843, the first international railway connection was born, linking Liège to Aachen and Cologne.
The station was modernized and improved in 1882 and in 1905 for the World Fair in Liège. This station was replaced in 1958 by a modern (for that time) one that was used until June 2009, a few months before the opening of the new Calatrava designed station.
New station
The new station by the architect Santiago Calatrava was officially opened on September 18, 2009, with a show by Franco Dragone. It has 9 tracks and 5 platforms (three of 450 m and two of 350 m). All the tracks around the station have been modernized to allow high speed arrival and departure.
The new station is made of steel, glass and white concrete. It includes a monumental arch, 160 metres long and 32 metres high. The building costs were €312 million.
Train services
Liège-Guillemins station is served by InterCity- and InterRegio trains, connecting Liège with all major Belgian cities, as well as several international destinations such as Aachen, Lille, and Maastricht. In addition to the national traffic, Liège-Guillemins station welcomes Thalys and ICE trains, connecting Liège to Brussels, Paris, Aachen, Cologne, and Frankfurt. Two new dedicated high-speed tracks were built: HSL 2 (Brussels-Liège) and HSL 3 (Liège-German border).
Last year we went to France during this week. This year we are doing up my house so I can sell it early next year. In stead of actually having a holiday trip we have to look back on this great trip to the Provence.

Another shot that spoke to me. My father and I used to come here on long walksfollowed by long talks. Nostalgic.
Experimenting with the technique long exposure but also looking at the formations of the coast from exposure to the elements over time.
