In this case, X does not mark the spot.
A little asymmetric double.
In the tunnel.

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!

a little diversion
One of the challenges faced by anyone in arriving in a new country is getting to grips with the local customs, the language.
In Belgium, that challenge magnified as there are two languages to learn, Français and Nederlands.
Nederlands is then spiced up a bit with various regional differences and some carefully inserted words designed to make sure it stands out from the language spoken by the inhabitants of that country to the North.
Despite my weekly lessons, I am essentially clueless.
However, I have benefited from a very clever public awareness scheme seemingly designed to help those new to the country get to grips with the most important words.
A scheme operated by governments at every level across the region.
Those words?
– omleiden
– omlegging
– onderbroken
But the really clever part is that the bright orange awareness raising posters signs, that are used to reinforce these crucial words, also guide the visitor to new and undiscovered places, some never to be visited again.
It really is a very clever initiative.
A little diversion from the rigour of #photo101
photography101: treasure
transitory treasure
Treasure is transitory, illusory.
One person’s treasure is another person’s junk.
What was once treasured now gathers dust on the shelf, in the attic, basement, on the table at the flea market.
The real treasure is what we hold inside us.
The feelings we have, for people, places, times.
The memories and hopes that can never turn to dust.
Treasure.
(Canal side flea market, Brugge)

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.

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