#Brussels, Belgium. Boulevard du Jardin Botanique with a view on the Koekelberg Basilique in the distance. Bright sunset after a heavy rainstorm. The view was magic. May 2025. #brusselsbynight #brussels #bruxelles #bruxellesmabelle

#Bruxellesmabelle January - March 2023. #parcducinquantenaire

On ne peut pas le louper en face de la porte de Flandre, sur le quai du Hainaut, ce grand immeuble qui affiche le nom d’une marque de bière bien connue. Ça fait d’ailleurs longtemps (2018 pour la première photo) que je veux montrer sa bouille, mais je me heurte toujours à l’absence d’infos sur l’histoire du bâtiment. Bien qu’il ait été inscrit à l’inventaire du patrimoine bruxellois en 2024, sa fiche ne mentionne même pas son année de construction ni son architecte. Bref, infos bienvenues. Juin 2022.

Edit : Merci @dodosan@diaspodon.fr d’avoir mené l’enquête et repéré une plaque qui indique « L. & G. Pepermans - architectes-ingénieur » sur la façade.

A #Belgian thingy?

Until 2016 publication of these photos would have been illegal. From the website of the #Atomium (pictured here:)
‘#copyright restrictions exempt private individuals (…) where photographs are taken by private individuals and shown on private websites for no commercial purpose.’

SABAM, #Belgium's society for collecting copyrights and having an illustrious reputation for claiming copyrights (even when it’s not even holding it,) has claimed worldwide intellectual property rights on all reproductions of the Atomium and has gone so far to demand a US website to remove all images from its pages.

Luckily Belgium has come to its senses and since 2016 there is freedom of panorama, allowing pictures of public buildings under copyright to be legally distributed.

Teleportation - #brussels, 2024
From my series 'Encounters of the 3rd kind in Brussels'
https://www.helene-cook.eu/-/welcomegalleries/galleries/brussels/brussels-3rd-type-encounters
Who hasn't dreamed of changing universe when the world goes wrong? #art and #photography are therapy. I newly teleported myself to #Pixelfed and I'm looking forward to discover my fellow #photographers on this network. #urbanphotography #architecturephotography #streetphotography #photographersofpixelfed #urbanphotographer #artyear #bruxelles #bruxellesmabelle

I'm not sure about only uploading new photos or adding some older ones too?
Perhaps I'll port my favs from IG to PF.
This one is from somewhere in Brussels anno 2016.

So I'm probably making the switch from Insta to Pixelfed... first testing a lot of features here!
This was one of my first uploads on IG when I registered there around 10 years ago, after I made a switch from Flickr. I'm still around on these other platforms though...
