Proof that Beringen Coalmine is a dangerous place to
wander about... I guess we don't need it anymore.
Over time more and more news bulletins mention people
falling through ceilings etc... whether they be urbex
photographers or just plain old copper thieves.

Yes, some images I made some time ago. Decided to
upload them to the Nature section.
One of them is made in Grobbendonk and looks a lot like a Cambodian ricefield > Lipton Icetea can do that!!

On 18 and 19th of May 2007 Apropo organised its
yearly concert. All students and teachers take part
in this two day concert to give the best of
themselves. In the late night after the concert ended
several jam sessions were held by a lot of talented
musicians who volunteered to to lighting, sound,
stage...
During the 2 days I was on stage, back stage, front stage to photograph the concert.
I have selected a "Distillers Edition" of those pictures in the apropo gallery in the varia section.

for this event.

An update - Baviere Hospital!

Amazing, at last a new update. I managed to find some
time to put this tidbit online. We visited Baviere a
while ago, can't exactly remember the date but it was
a sunny afternoon for sure [as you will see in the
pictures]. We were let in by the friendly people
living there and we had company from their dog all
the time. You see him in one of the images. I was
always afraid he would lift his leg against my tripod
go directly to it : Baviere Hospital

Bruce Percy's Mavisbank House

I would like to take this opportunity to mention a
photographer who's work I adore. Bruce Percy is a
photographer living in Scotland. He is mostly
interested in nature photography, well living in
Scotland who wouldn't? One day when going through his
online portfolio I stumbled upon what looked like a
urban shoot! The Mavisbank House had been abandoned
many years before and it reminded me a bit of Chateau
Neufcour. Although it's not really his style he was
enamoured by the place and decided to do an essay on
it. He's not the person interested to go inside these
kind of buildings but the beauty and purity of decay
and the way the building becomes one with its
surroundings over time is depicted well in his own
style.
Sometimes I forget how the outside is equally important as the inside... The Mavisbank House
also take a look at his other astonishing work.

Car Graveyard Chatillon is online

It's a cemetery already visited several times by
other urbexers and afficionado's of the genre. It was
a real pleasure taking pictures here because of the
serene atmosphere there. The light on one side of
this long row of forgotten automobile dreams is
filtered through tall pine trees which give the
lighting a specific photographic quality. Furthermore
it's quiet and calm and I also have no idea if there
is an owner of this place. Probably there is, I don't
think we have much "unclaimed" land here in Belgium.
But considering its location on top of a slope
surrounded by trees and bushes it might very well be
there still for years and years to come.

On my first trip over there my friend Tom accompanied
me. Since he is living in Berlin, it was one of those
rare occasions when the man was in Belgium. I have
also put his pictures online, you can find them
here.
Castle of Meesen tidbit

I recently found out by reading a book from Friedl'
Lesage that famous Flemish defence Litigator Jef
Vermassen has his office in a restaurated part of the
castle [well a separated 'portiers huis' actually but
it was part of the castle domain. Jef Vermassen is an
art lover and he mentions he doesn't want to be
around the office the day they start with the
official destruction. We all can sympathise with that
can't we?
Just a tidbit for those of you who didn't know...
