8 years ❤ #Anniversary #Champagne! #Love The Passenger by Arne Quinze, wood and bolts, Mons. I, for one, really like this piece of art though it was at the heart of a controversy when it was first built because of its price. What didn't help of course was that the first version collapsed on the street over which it is installed. Nonetheless, it is an unexpected explosion of colour in the middle of town, a fun way to bring culture to passers-by. #Art #Structure #ArneQuinze #Mons #architecture #Belgium #Europe #Travel #RandomStuff #streetart #citylife Close up of the #Niederwalddenkmal. #Statue #Sculpture #Travel #Europe #Germany #Latergram Here's the #Niederwalddenkmal in Rüdesheim am Rhein (#Hesse), a beautiful monument built in the 1870s to commemorate the unification of #Germany. What's really nice about it is that once you take the hike up there, it offers you the most gorgeous view on the #Rhine gorge. #sculpture #architecture #travel #Europe #Latergram The Germans have the most fantastic mailboxes. #Travel #Germany #Europe #Mailbox #Blue #Latergram The Lorelei: according to the legend, there once was a woman so beautiful that she would cause the sailors to wreck their ships as they sailed the dangerous currents along the #Rhine. #Travel #Germany #Europe #Lorelei #Statue #River #Latergram Today's stop on our trip down memory lane takes us to #Germany, and more specifically to the #Rhine Gorge at Sankt Goarshausen. It is a very romantic region, so if you're tired of the Paris clichés and feel like having a lovely getaway, it is the right place. While we were there, we had the feeling that we were the last human beings on earth. With wine, that is, as the local production of #Reisling is fabulous. #Travel #littlestreet #quaint #Europe #Latergram Last one from #Malta. That's it for today, folks, as I need to get back to work. #Valletta #Europe #Travel #nostalgia #latergram #nofilter #palmtree #sea #architecture Another one from the boat because frankly, being in Belgium working on my dissertation right now is a little depressing, so I am going through old pictures to warm my little heart. #boat #Malta #sea #bluesea #mediterranean #travel #Europe #latergram #nostalgia
