Waiting for the shops to open

Galeries Saint Lambert, just before opening time. Need something to lean on.

Narrow alley

A narrow alley in the city centre. It looks better than it smells...

Contrailwatch

Liège roofs and contrails. Happy Skywatch!

La ville, c'est la vie

This enormous poster was placed on the wall of the former hotel Baar Lecharlier in place Saint Etienne months ago. I pass in front of it every day but it's only today that I thought of taking a photo of it. Better late than never! The slogan reads 'The city is life ... Liège, cultural meeting point'.

Unexpected Christmas invasion

Christmas unexpectedly invaded Liège today, bringing with it enormous snowflakes and the distant sound of sleigh bells. The invasion only lasted for 10 minutes but it was impressive. Shock and awe!

Snow = no roadworks

One of the fundamental equations of human society: snow=no roadworks. Here's the proof:

The diggers have been parked and idle for two weeks.

Church, snowy roof and a bit of sky

Sorry excuse for a Skywatch this week, but I didn't have anything better.

Academic snow

Some snow photos from the university campus in Sart Tilman.

It's melting away...

Although the temperatures have not exceeded -3 degrees Centigrade in nearly two weeks, the snow is slowly melting away, especially near buildings.

More snow

Another snow photo.

Sunny but cold

Back to Liège after a week in Greece. It was cold there, it's much colder here.
