Today, in #PoliciesThatMakeNoSense: in #flanders gas heating is still cheaper than using a heat pump ... because taxes. No worries, it will be remedied by ... 2032. By all means, take your time.

This image shows a war memorial dedicated to the Canadian Corps, indicating their military effort in October and November 1917 during World War I. The inscription on the monument marks their advancement across a valley, describing it as a treacherous morass, and their capture and holding of Passchendaele Ridge.

In front of the monument, there are three portraits placed on the base, each with a name beneath them: Antoine Leytens, Stephen Ernest Shortliffe, and Hermann Keck. These likely represent soldiers who participated in the historical events commemorated by the memorial. Below the portraits, there are wreaths adorned with red poppies, a symbol often used to remember those who have died in military service, particularly in British and Commonwealth countries. Small Canadian flags are also placed near the portraits, emphasizing the memorial’s connection to Canada and its historical military contributions.

This image shows a bilingual plaque (in French and English) describing the Battle of Passchendaele, which occurred in October-November 1917 during World War I. The plaque outlines the harsh conditions and notable bravery demonstrated by Canadian forces during the battle. It mentions the challenging terrain and weather experienced by the soldiers, including deep mud and a dominating enemy force. Additionally, it highlights the significant casualties endured by the Canadian Corps and the awarding of the Victoria Cross to nine Canadian soldiers for their valor. The plaque is an official historical marker, as indicated by the logos of the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada and the Commission des lieux et monuments historiques du Canada at the bottom. It seeks to commemorate this critical event in Canadian military history.

The image shows a symmetrically aligned pathway leading up to a monument or memorial. The monument is centered at the far end of the pathway and appears to be a large rectangular structure with inscriptions on its front. The setting is peaceful, surrounded by well-kept green lawns and mature trees. The sky is blue with some scattered clouds. Based on the structure and surroundings, this location may serve as a dedicated space for remembrance or tribute.

Two weeks in #belgium🇧🇪 were over too fast some summers ago and so was my photographic #journey into some facts and parts of #worldwar1. Not only was #inflandersfields created at this place, indeed the youngest fallen hero is buried here: #vjstrudwick is told to have fallen at the age of 15 - unbelievable and sad! 😢 Lest we forget all those who gave their utter sacrifice for freedom - true heroes they were!

This image shows a war memorial gravestone, honoring a soldier named V. J. Strudwick, who was a rifleman in the Rifle Brigade. He died on January 14, 1916, at the age of 15. The gravestone features a carved emblem with inscriptions and symbols related to the brigade, including “The Prince Consort’s Own.” It is surrounded by red poppies, a common symbol of remembrance for soldiers who have died in war, along with other small remembrance items such as crosses and a poppy wreath. The presence of a small tag and other personal tributes suggests that people continue to visit and honor the memory of this young soldier.

Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery in Poperinge, Flanders, is the prime witness of more than four years of violent warfare. From 1915 until 1920, the hamlet of Lijssenthoek became the venue for the biggest evacuation hospital in the Ypres Salient.

This image shows a collection of black and white photographs arranged on a red wall. Each photograph portrays an individual, predominantly males, most likely soldiers or military personnel given that several are wearing uniforms featuring caps or hats typical of military attire. The style of uniforms and the photographic quality suggest that these images could be historical, possibly from the early to mid-20th century. The red background creates a striking contrast with the black and white photos, emphasizing each individual portrait. This display could be part of a historical exhibit, memorial, or a tribute to military personnel from a specific period.

This image shows a large number of black and white photographs displayed on a red wall. The photographs appear to be arranged in clusters or blocks across the wall, and they depict various individuals. Such a display could be part of an exhibition, memorial, or gallery intended to present historical figures, commemorate certain individuals, or illustrate a particular era or theme. The setup creates an impactful visual tribute or historical representation.

This image shows a red wall that is decorated with numerous black and white photographs of individuals. These photographs vary in size and seem to be portraits of men, possibly from different time periods, as indicated by their attire and the styles of the photographs. Some of them are wearing military uniforms. The display could be part of a historical exhibit, memorial, or a thematic art installation aiming to convey a specific message or evoke a certain era.

The image displays a vibrant red panel with a poem printed in white text. The poem is written in Dutch and it appears to be a reflective piece, perhaps dealing with themes of loss, human condition, or resilience. The repeated phrase “Wij, geen drie procent.” translates to "We, not three percent." This suggests a motif or a key concept within the poem, perhaps pertaining to a minority or a specific group underscoring their significance or insignificance in a larger context. The poem seems to evoke a deep emotional resonance and addresses serious subjects like death and identity.

#Belgium #Flanders tourism agency, you’re the best. Last year I did a bunch of their “Iconic cycling routes”, send them a bunch of my pictures and this week, I received in return hand signed certificates.

Even nicer than the cobble stone I got for the Flandrien challenge.

4 certificates left to right Frontroute, Greenbelt, Maas and Kunststedenroute.

Fell in love with #Gent on the #assumptionofmary back in 2017. Wonderful city combining classic and modern architecture in one big whole. Astonishing!

Gothic-style stone building with arches and turrets alongside an urban canal, reflecting in the water. The canal is flanked by traditional European buildings with gabled roofs and brick facades on the opposite side. Overcast sky, several parked bicycles visible on the canal's edge.

Empty street in #Gent - on this day was the Assumption of Mary, so people enjoyed the empty but nevertheless wonderful city in quietness...

The Flemish government considers learning any language other than #dutch a hobby and TRIPLED the price of classes at adult learning centres.

I didn’t continue studying #swedish because of the price hike. I feel conflicted because I was studying it for professional reasons, and not as a hobby?

Soo I’m starting free Dutch classes next week! I guess the nationalists win this one.

But it’s a bit funny because I’ll definitely treat studying Dutch as a hobby :))

Big Shoutout to the people that cleared and salted the bicycle paths! I had no trouble whatsoever to get to work. Really good job. I would even call it enjoyable.
