Rodin's Thinker

Tuesday, 27 February 2007 by Simon Aughton

Reputed to be the first of Auguste Rodin's Thinker scupltures, this one adorns the grave of art critic Jef Dillens in Brussels' Cimetière de Laeken.

We took this picture despite being told that photography is not permitted in the cemetary. This Wikipedia article suggests that this ban is not rigidly enforced.

Cimetière d'Ixelles

An amazing hodgepodge of headstones, statues and bas-reliefs commemorating famous and not-so famous Belgians, as well as those who died defending the country in two world wars.

New Brussels gallery (11)

Monday, 19 February 2007 by Simon Aughton

I've posted a collection of pics taken around Brussels over the past few months on the Simon + Becs website. The one on the left is a painting on the wall of Le Corbeau, a bar on the edge of the city centre with a unique line in beer glasses.

It snowed :)

by Simon Aughton

Only the second time in two years that it has snowed and settled, so I took a trip to the top of Parking 58 to grab some snaps and posted them here.
