Bicycle






Took a walk and some photo snaps this morning.

Public nudity is no crime in Britain and we saw it celebrated at the Naked Bike Ride back on the 5th July.










Lots of cyclists in Brighton. This is a marker on the National Cycle Network. As soon as we’re back I vaguely plan to start biking there.





A few street shots around Antwerp. Click on the pictures to see them larger.
Just found a few more pictures from our last morning in Brussels. In the middle picture on the left you can see the barriers around the massive building works on Stalingrad were celebrating the life and music of Toots Thielmans, the legendary Belgian harmonica player, most recently brought to the attention of American audiences, perhaps, by Jaco Pastorius (see below).

When we got off the train in Ghent we initially exited from the wrong side of the train station (top image). Then we reentered the train station and exited from the other side. What was I saying a few posts back about the Belgians favouring bicycles?









Last month we took a bus and a walk to see the outdoor Museum of Rural Life. Click any image to see them all enlarged.
Paris Photo was held this year at the Grand Palais Ephémère, a massive marquee erected on the Champ de Mars, at the other end of which stands the Eiffel Tower. We therefore stayed in a hotel nearby and found ourselves confronted at frequent points in our walks, by sights of the iconic structure which it is impossible not to photograph. So let’s try and get that out of the way at once! (Click any image to see them all full-sized.)
