“They will not control us,
We will be victorious”
triumph inside
Razorwire.
They lock me in.
They are the men with bulldozers and hammers.
They are my memories.
Of words said. Words unsaid. Words never acted on. Doors left unopened.
I can recognise, accept.
I can survive.
If I choose.
(Hooghuis, Doel)

Sometimes the answer is right in front of us.
All day*, trying to think of another double photo.
And (t)here, on the wall, at work.
Ping(back)! I found it.
Good night fellow #photo101 classmates!
* Whilst working very hard, obviously.
Something about Christmas preparations sets my nerves on edge.
Trees ripped from the forest.
Forced jollity.
Pretence.
Poverty amid abundance.
So, with apologies for the downbeat tone.
An edgy angle on Christmas preparations in Grote Markt, Brussel.
My morning drive to work, grinding through slow moving traffic, frequent periods at a complete standstill.
I have another post in mind that I will share this evening.
For now, welcome to the static world of the R0 outside Brussel.
Shot through the window glass of my car.
Glass.
Mirror.
Life. Reflected.
Have a great day!

“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?

With a dash of red.

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.

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