One of the many abandoned theatres in Brussels, Varia was cold and emotionless, its concrete shell unforgiving and unwelcoming. The better parts tucked away behind its stage and foyer.

A bit of a two sided tale here. Initially I thought we had hit the mother of all jackpots. As we drew closer and looked across the river we saw realms and realms of twisting pipes, expansive buildings and stacks as far as the eye could see. With its concrete banks it looked like an old warship limping back to port. Even driving around the site took ten minutes!, surely this cant all be the Clabecq foundry?
One of my favorite sites of to visit in Belgium. Granted its not the largest of places and its a bit battered, probably now beyond repair. But there was just something about the castle that left you with a feeling that can only be described as “win”. Another towerblock located in the city of London. Currently awaiting demolishion to be replaced with a newer, smaller building, 20 Fenchurch stands at around 33 floors high with superb panoramic views of london and the bank district.
The medieval Lock Ness Abbey, Highland Park, now under conversion into the swanky ”members only” Highland Club and ”Luxury” apartments was originally a academy for training monks before they were dispatched to spread the word of God. With an unbeatable position at the foot of the loch and unspoilt views, I wouldn’t mind owning one of the apartments.
The last time we found ourselves in london was for Broadgate. Sadly Landmark is nowhere near as high or impressive but its something to pass the time I suppose. Current build height for Tower A is 33 floors while its brother B is following at 29. We ended up climbing both towers and each gave different views of the town not possible from the other. |
