“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)

“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?

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.

“Sealand forgets her friends
She’ll not leave them again
Mother, sister and home
These arms fail you so”
Sealand – OMD – “Architecture and Morality” – 1981
This place has quite a history.
Today’s challenge was to present architecture in mono.
Faced with a hectic day, the temptation to dig out an archive shot was strong, I have a large collection of such shots.
But…I wanted to enter into the spirit of things!
So, before leaving for work this morning, I stepped out into the rain and grabbed this grainy shot of the EU Parliament with my iPhone and then edited it with Silver Efex Pro.
I have featured this building, which is right outside my front door, in other posts and will again.

My last post for the weekend…I think…
I’ve had another try at time-lapse, read a lot about how to do it, and sadly have failed to apply most of what I have read – I need to work on reflections, choppy sequences, shutter speed and a zillion other things
But hey, Photo101 is about learning?
So, time for a Belgian beer to close down the evening and prepare for another week at work 😉
Sunday evening…
