Pick from the archives no.1: still very valid in the month of July, the winter sales/ summer sales are very popular in Brussels. I know I am broke twice a year.

As promised, the bottom half of the grafitti. I would just like to understand ... why pink pigs?!

Like everyone, I am escaping the hot city for 2 weeks of summer holidays. Given I have also just reached the 6 months milestone of the Brussels DP, I will post different pics from the archives for the time I am away. Again, all this can only happen due to the invaluable help of Denton from Greenville DP.

A nice summer everyone and enjoy ... Brussels :)

Just came across this one today, in the heat of the day (we had 37° today, the hottest day registered in Brussels!). The bottom part of the grafitti will be revealed tomorrow.

Every city has a symbol flower. For Brussels it is the Iris here seen on the bottom of a lamp post.

On a different note, congratulations to the winners of World Cup 2006: ITALY. Wish I would be in Bologna, Milan (o) , Parma, Rome, Torino or Venice to celebrate.

Did Italy get a day off today? :)

This time introducing ... secret agent Victor Sackville, serving the English Crown and George V. Cartoon persona created by Francis Carin.

Since the beginning of Brussels Daily Photo, other Brussels cartoon wall art published included: Brousaille , Le Chat, Tintin, Monsieur Jean, Le Jeune Albert, what I call the feather girl, and the last one, El Scorpio.

More to come, I promise. Am busy snapping cartoon wall art pictures everywhere!

No, the press is not waiting for the World Cup news. This is how a European Summit looks like to the normal passer by. All you see is media and transmission vans. The whole area around the European Commission is usually blocked off and you can only enter it by showing your EC badge.
Btw, congrats to Italy, sorry Germany!

I have been posting for a while pictures of the wall art in Brussels. Last one was El Scorpio.

Now something a little different: the map showing you the cartoon walls trail. So far I have made it to point 9 on the map ... so look forward to next Sunday, when I will post some more on my findings. And btw, it is officially 6 months since I have the DP on Brussels :)
