Brussels, intersection of Place Royal and Rue de la Régence near Rue de Namur. Pile of wooden railway sleepers from dismantled tram tracks. In the background, you can still see part of the façade of the Magritte Museum.

A large pile of dark, scorched wooden beams lies on rough gravel in the foreground. Behind it stands a bright white, neoclassical building with tall rectangular windows, heavy cornices, and a small sign by the door that reads “Musée Magritte Museum.” A stone bridge-like passage with a balustrade connects two wings of the building, and an iron gate is visible through it. Yellow-and-blue construction barriers line the site, showing that road or track work is in progress. Thin tram or power lines cut across a pale blue sky with soft clouds. The contrast between the dirty, broken wood and the clean, elegant facade creates a strong visual tension.
