The SNCB's "verify you are human" screen.
Some may find it irritating that Belgian Rail sends you to this page with every second click on the website, but I have NEVER ONCE seen a robot using their trains.

Travelling when disabled is *exhausting*
But the kindness of strangers is equal parts inspiring and humbling.
The lady in the yellow coat at Bruxelles-Midi who literally jumped a barrier to help me after I fell, even though neither of us spoke 2 words of each others language.

Victor Horta, l’un des fondateurs de l’Art nouveau, avait donné à Bruxelles ses plus beaux chefs-d’œuvre. Mais après la guerre, tout change.
Délaissé, Horta voit son œuvre perdre de son éclat.
Il finira par détruire une grande partie de ses plans et de ses dessins. Fil 🔽
Just a lovely evening in, from a book of hours Belgium, Bruges, ca. 1520.
A roaring fire, family playing cards, cosy benches with pillows, child playing with a hobby horse, chased by a puppy, a late visitor arriving.
Lovely.

Finjan in Antwerpen op 't Zuid. Wat een aanrader om lekker te eten! De vermelding in de GaultMillau over het beste pitarestaurant in Belgie is niet gelogen. Perfect combineerbaar ook met een bezoek aan het KMSKA en café De Hopper.

An eerie black and white painting of the artist from a low angle looking corpse-like, with a mirror, frame, and other objects looming ominously in the background

a large trimmed hedge has a small hole cut into it above the ground that only a child can pass through
the hedges in this brussels parc have little "doors" in them so children can play inside 🥰

Part of the recipe in the original manuscript.
Three quinces on a cutting board.
Today, Sid and I are attempting a recipe for “roy marmelaede” with quinces from the Antwerp Annunciates’ recipe book (first half 17th century, with some later additions - @kbrbe.bsky.social).
Quite curious as to how this will go (1/?)

"Portrait Of Anna Boch." Acrylic and pastel. #art #artsky #painting #painter #blueskyart
Born in 1848, Boch was a Belgian Pointillist and Neo-Impressionist painter best known as the art collector who purchased Van Gogh's "The Red Vineyard" — the only painting he sold in his lifetime.
