Getting Up Earlier.

Finally! It’s November, my favourite month: the falling leaves, that morning chill, the glorious sunshine. This is the first time I actually remember not going to school or working this time of the year so I can just chill and enjoy all its delights, which includes not having to get up early. Still, one day I was required to do just that and saw this…

Chaussée de Gand (Molenbeek) in wondrous morning light.

Tomorrow I’m leaving for Hungary for almost a whole month, which marks the start of a completely new era in my life. More on that later. :)

A Summer Walk in Downtown Brussels.

Here I am again after a whole month of non-posting, but I’m telling you…life has been treating me to so many unexpected occurences that I can barely keep up. Now we are counting down the last two weeks before we welcome another wonderful human being into this world and I couldn’t be more excited! But back to our post.

These photos were taken during a more or less 6-km walk from the Kokelberg basilica, all the way to the Canals and from there to the Stock Exchange in the city centre.

The Brussels Canal is a really fun place! I love walking around there.

We even got to see some profound street performance, but as my grandma used to say, “it was way too profound for us to appreciate”. I love her.

The Atomium in June.

jun 020

The best news lately: I have a new camera for which I had been saving up for some time. And even better: it comes with a beautiful new wide(r)-angle zoom lens. Absolutely lovely. I bought them about a month ago but given that the Road has gotten a bit rocky lately I didn’t even take them out for a try. Well before last weekend, that is. My brother Geri is here and we thought it was an absolute must to check out the Atomium again with in lovely summer lights. I can’t wait to shoot more but 35 weeks into pregnancy it’s getting a bit difficult (understand: nearly impossible) to walk longer than a kilometer without getting all my belly muscles contracted. Shooting will have to wait. =)

I have also noticed that I’m writing in rather short sentences. Weird.

My biggest adventure yet starts in a few weeks!
