Happy 2024!

Well, that it. That's the post. No photo's, no nothing, just my honest wishes 😉 To those who follow me, and read my posts, I wish you all the best for 2024. I'...

Guess what...

I know, I've been posting a lot less lately. The reason is that my mother's health is deteriorating very much and so I, as the only son, give much of my time in...

My wife asked me...

...when we could go to a restaurant again. And preferably in a new restaurant where we had not been before. Something nice, small, cozy & intimate... And as you...

Through the years...

Another building that has been through a lot over time. This is the "Harmonie building". It was built in 1846 by a private consortium but then, in 1923, bought ...

Twisted by the wind...😉

Those who follow me have known for some time that I am not a fan of the latest architecture. Especially not when it comes to concrete high-rise buildings that b...

Street-Negative 😉

When I saw this electrical box, and the setting around it, I immediately knew this was the perfect subject for a colorssplash 😉 Only... normally I would leave ...

I made my own postcard 😉

I've posted a then-and-now photo montage a few times now, but this one is a now montage... for the simple reason that postcards of this building don't exist yet...

I have kinky neighbors...🤪

Last month I took this photo with my phone during my daily walk with the dog. Ok, I won't win a beauty prize with it, but it's more about the story (and the rea...

Flowers & Reflections & something else 😉

No, no postcard today. At least, I haven't found a postcard of this house yet... the original inhabitants may not have been important enough 😉 It has been ther...

Good old times II

And sure enough, I found another interesting postcard last weekend. This time it concerns the "Waterpoort" (Porta Regia), an old gateway to Antwerp that was est...

It‘s quiet here...😉

It had been a while since I had driven the Amilcar, but this week I found an opportunity. Although it was a sad opportunity... A good acquaintance of my mother ...

Good old times...

Last weekend I may have found a new hobby that can be perfectly combined with my photography...collecting old postcards from my hometown. I like to browse antiq...

Street art without paint 😉

I'm going to stop with my KMSKA museum series for now... every now and then you should post and work on something else, huh. But later there will be more pictur...

The evolution of sculpture...

Such a museum where you have both a classic and a modern section is particularly interesting to make comparisons between old and new works of art. The evolution...

Vandals at work 😉

Ok, maybe you think you are looking at a standard museum scene here... A guide explains the exhibited works to 2 lost tourists... At least, that's what you thin...

Infiltrated Masters...

Don't be fooled by the pictures...we are still here in the classic part of the museum. You know, the part where the great masters of painting hang like Rubens, ...

Camels love art 😉

Of course there is 1 painter who can be proud that he has his own exhibition room in the museum... Pieter Paul Rubens. Rubens (Siegen, June 28, 1577 – Antwerp, ...

Masters everywhere!

If you look at the 2 pictures, above as it looks now and below during the renovation, I think the old part of the museum took much less time than the new/modern...

Modern is ok, but now it's time for some more decorum!

So far in this series about the museum of fine arts I have only shown photos of the new (modern) part. And although that part is very interesting from an archit...

Do you prefer something other than white or blue?

Then I think this corridor might be something for you 😊 I myself am still not sure whether this is a work of art, or an attempt by the architects to see which ...
