OK, so I published the same picture two days in a row. Not a sign of CRS. Just loved the picture so much.

This is my brother Fred and his lovely wife Kay who came for a visit two weeks ago. One midday, we went to Leuven and wandered around the church, and I grabbed this photo of the two of them in front of the beautiful City Hall. A thing of beauty in and of itself, and a wonder that it is still standing hundreds of years later. Was the appropriation of building things for a thousand years by Hitler a cue for architects to work in temporary modes, or maybe just the 20th centuries fascination with the new. New materials, new modes, new everything. Then again, Newe York as the city without history - knock down the old to put up the new. Again and again and again.

anyway, we had a nice visit, going downtown during a beer festival and the day without cars, going to Tervuren, on a very quiet Monday. Didn't get enough pictures. Kept forgetting my camera.
