Sometimes things just happen.
This is a very rough and ready clip.
These people appeared in the street and came straight at me.
So I lifted my camera and just fired away as they walked around me.
I just had to share!

“And a sentimentalist, my dear Darlington, is a man who sees an absurd value in everything, and doesn’t know the market place of any single thing.”
– Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere’s Fan
Not really sure about these.
Woke at four am with an idea.
Why not take a shot of a coin with the EU Parliament building in the background?
Not that hard to try, as the EU Parliament is right outside the window.
The scariest part of this (apart from the fact that I am dreaming of posts for #photo101)?
What if that euro coin fell off and landed on some poor soul’s head from the ninth floor?
If that had happened, I wouldn’t be writing this.
Penny euro for your thoughts?

angular
This trip was supposed to be to the top of Parking 58 which offers the best views across the rooftops of Brussel.
A locked gate bent me out of shape – angular
So, I grabbed this shot, and wondered if I would ever use it.
And, now, I have.
My contribution to this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge from The Daily Post at WordPress.

Trees snatched through the window of a speeding car.
Morning light.
Full of possibility.

Catching a moment to read whilst the world rushes by.
This is a very experimental shot.

She’ll not leave them again
Mother, sister and home
These arms fail you so”

This place has quite a history.
