Terrasses des Minimes

One of the best kept secrets of the city is the Terrasses des Minimes et des Chevaliers Teutoniques, a series of terraces on the side of the Citadel Hill. Once they belonged to a monastic order but now they are a beautiful public park. Here's a couple of pictures.

Arty graffiti

Here's some original graffiti/installation on a wall in the Rue Hors Château. I think it reads 'Laisse-moi t'aimer' (let me love you) and it is written mostly in plastic doll parts.

You are being judged

First of all I will apologize for the infrequent updates this week, I was away in Norway. I could only update the blog with older photos when I was not getting lost in fjords, chasing trolls or preparing conference presentations.

Here is a picture of three bishop princes from the Palais des Princes Eveques. It is quite clear that they are watching our every move and disapproving of pretty much everything we do. His Central Holiness appears to be saying that time to change our ways is short while Monsignor Left is holding the means by which divine powers will act their terrible vengeance upon us.

PS: All pictures on this blog can be seen at much higher resolution when clicked on. Some of the comments left recently made me suspect that this is not entirely clear. So please click on the picture and see the Their Three Holinesses in their full high res glory.

Houses on the hill

I love how old Liege is built on the Citadel hill, without any uniformity.

Churches

Saint Paul's cathedral and the Basilique de Cointe, both in one shot. The Basilique is in the background.

Lucifer chained
