If indeed there ever was a door”

“Forbidden to dump” even in the fall

“Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.”

Le Reveil

“Déjà le coq a chanté.
Amis il faut nous lever.
Debout, debout les amis,
le jour a chassé la nuit.
Allons amis levez vous,
c’est l’heure du rendezvous.”

(Folksong)
Liège (B)

Could it be that Canon made those cameras here?

“Ain’t gonna hang no picture
Ain’t gonna hang no picture frame
Ain’t gonna hang no picture
Ain’t gonna hang no picture frame
Well, I might look like Robert Ford
But I feel just like a Jesse James”

(Bob Dylan in Outlaw blues)
Vlaardingen (NL)

The path into a lost industry

“Der wahre Weg geht über ein Seil
das nicht in der Höhe gespannt
ist, sondern knapp über dem Boden. Es scheint mehr bestimmt,
stolpern zu machen, als begangen zu werden.”

(F. Kafka in Fragmente)
Liège (B)
