La fin d'une époque. Cette semaine on a dit au revoir à notre "SUV". Après 7 ans de service fidèle, +14.000 km. Pas mal de trajects école et des courses mais ce vélo a aussi fait des déménagements, des brocantes, une transplantation d'arbre et une ballade camping/festival #bakfiets #urbanarrow

Petite pensée pour les éboueurs de #bxlpropreté qui ont ramassé ce matin de jour férié des cartons qui traînaient depuis une semaine dans plusieurs quartiers de #Bruxelles. Devrait on apprendre à trier ses déchets et plier ses cartons à l'école ? Ou simplement mettre des conteneurs comme ailleurs?

Never waste a good crisis... urgent infrastructure works have made trough traffic impossible on the canalside in #Molenbeek. It seems like a consensus is growing that there is a huge potential here to make more space for people instead of cars. #Brussels #mobility

The making of a #skyline. Pictures from the same spot in #Rotterdam (taken from Euromast), 60 years ago and today. Ships have moved to newer harbour facilities, towers were built.

#Brussels #North station, Belgium's busiest on weekdays. Opened 1952, design Paul and Jacques Saintenoy. The main hall has beautifully renovated and is visible from the outside since the demolition of the neighbouring office block. It will be partially hidden again by a new mixed-use development.

Enjoying it while it lasts. #autumncolors #Fallfoliage in #Brussels #Forest #BE1190. Also, note the tram tracks in the grass. The only thing missing on this avenue is a bike lane.
