Comment on Cimetière du Dieweg by Vincent

There just isn't enough "real estate" on this planet to tend for everyone's lot 100 years or so after their death
as 200 000 people die every day.. Eventually no one has a living memory of your time on this earth and no one ever visits.

After a certain amount of time everything the cemetary will be wiped clean and place will be made for the next generation.

Or re-purposed ask a park like the one 100 meters from my home where they actually used the tomb stones to make a pathways:

Could anyone explain me why such a beautiful cemetery has been left unintended in a more than civilised country like Belgium….? It looks so sad not only because of material degradations but also because of the sudden removal of humans. The results that have occurred when people like here discontinue the maintenance of buildings and urban infrastructure are more than discouraging. I am very disappointed…

Hello,
Hope you don't mind. I used a copy of the picture of "Touching Heaven" on my blog post today as an illustration. Here is the context: http://irmgardebrown.com/2013/04/29/an-unclear-de…

I have linked the image back to this page. Let me know if it's not OK.

Comment on Leopold II by alexander

Macanon, first of all "fuck you belgians" is a nationalistic attitude witch led to many massacre like this so saying things like this make you as bad as them
second of all: I do not defend Leopold but almost every westernized country in the world in that time did things like this, witch was back then very acceptable

I am already surprised she has survived that long!

I saw this lovely little cat just yesterday, as I was having some rest in Bruxelles.
I am just afraid that La Cycliste won't last a long time as the painting seems to vanish here and there.

Will the carillon clock be repaired? It is beautiful and well worth it for tourism and school groups to visit.

Comment on Belgian waffles by Vincent

There are about a dozen or so different types of Belgian Waffles. The one from Brussels is one of the few that doesn't contain yeast. Recipes do vary: http://www.gaufresbelges.com/
