The Black Tower.

Built in the early 13th century, this tower is the only remaining part of the original first wall around Brussels. By the 15th century, it became private property (due to the building of the second fortification, it had long lost its purpose) and is one of the reasons it survived for so long.

In 1937, it became the first protected building in the city. It is notable for being a single medieval tower surrounded by modern-day buildings and thus has become a popular tourist destination.

A medieval tower with a concave roof partly overgrown with well maintained ivy. Buit around it is a higher, modern buildings in red/orange and grey. This combination has something very strange to it.

The Five Continents.

So, this is not some sort of AI generated photo, but it is a real existing building.

If you are ever in the city of Antwerp, be sure not to miss ‘The Five Continents’ an Art-Deco building colloquially known as ‘the boat house’ or ‘the little boat’ for it’s facade which has a balcony in the form of a ship.

Built in 1901 to the plans of architect Frans Smet-Verhas and commissioned by the boat builder Petrus Roeis, it was sold 2 years ago for funny money (a 2 and 6 zero’s) to a lawyer firm.

The Enchanted Forest.

“The Enchanted Forest” is an impressive #mural in #Halle. It is located on the wall of the cardboard factory Pacapime along the Brussels-Charleroi canal.

With an area of no less than 2000 square meters, it is one of the largest murals in Europe.

The #artwork was created by the #artist collective #Treepack and tells the story of several children who dream of a #future where people and nature live again in harmony and decide to make origami animals from paper they find in an enchanted forest. To their surprise, the animals come to life.

Children from the city of Halle served as models for the figures in the artwork.

A wall with street art with lots of greens and blues, depicting a child reading a book under the sheets. In front of that, a lush meadow with lots of buttercups.

#TravelTip for #Neurodivergents: if you are in a strange city, where you don’t know the traffic pattern and rhythms of the lights, you should fall back on waiting for the green man to allow you to cross the road, so as not to get run over.

If, like me, you get distracted or overwhelmed easily, be aware that many traffic lights have buttons or boxes for those with vision difficulties, that help them cross. Some of these boxes have a button you press on the bottom of the box that you keep your fingers on, and will vibrate when it’s time to cross.

I use these when I’m easily distracted as it’s a pretty difficult to miss interruption to indicate you should cross the road.

Accessibility is for everyone. #ActuallyADHD
