Box with visibility pole
Rue Léopold 1, Laeken At the edge of a parking place, this box with sprouting seeds has been placed. Because it is so low, car drivers will not see it; the solution here is the pin with reflector strips and blingy textiles that is stuck in the corner of the box. Stick it up more…

City park grave
There are many homeless people in Brussels. Since two years one guy lived in a small tent right in the middle of the park on the Quai à la Houille, next to a very popular children’s playground. A photo of the tent in 2014 can be seen on Google maps. He died recently. The place […] more…
Sheep maintenance
La Ferme du Parc Maximilien, Quai du Batelage 2, 1000 bxl A sight you don’t encounter everyday in a city: this sheep needs medical attention and is being held by its caretaker.

Don’t crash my green spot
Rue Vandenbogaerde, 1080 Molenbeek Bad parking often means a sudden death to many improvised green corners in the area.

Pilon out, brick in
Boulevard du Jubilé, 1080, Brussels Some earlier posts (first one, second post, third post, fourth post)depict the use of orange rubber pilons to prevent cars from parking in front of a private garage.

Avenue de l’Yser When making this photo on March 13, 2005, I enjoyed the prospect of returning here on a nice spring day sometime in the future to make a picture of the new branches that would sprout from the block.
