Fog on the river

Recently, the river has been bringing down a lot of fog in the morning. This is what the Pont de Fragnée looks like on such occasions.

Another Skywatch, another Friday

Nondescript building, interesting sky, reflections and Friday. It must be Skywatch!

High rise sunset

The setting sun lights up apartment blocks from the 50s and 60s, giving the impression that they float on top of the roofs of more traditional buildings.

Li Torê

The bull tamer is a statue located in the Terrasses d'Avroy. It was inaugurated in 1880 and shocked the public because of the nudity of the tamer. The iconography has its roots in the myth of Hercules capturing the Cretan Bull. The statue has since become the symbol of Liège students, who love painting the bull's testicles red.

It is complemented by another bull+man statue just opposite. This one depicts an ox and is called 'Bœuf au repos' (ox at rest).
