Darkstar, loved the blog. I'm looking foreward to your pics!

Nice shots!:) Good to see the're working on the lightrail.

The Hong Kong of Europe. 33,000 permanent inhabitants (thousands more are wealthy Northern Europeans or Arabs who only spent a part of the year there) squeezed into a tiny strip of land by the sea that merely encompasses 2 square kilometers. Love the city, I visited it 4 times- one of my fav...

Sounds perfect!

Fantastic city, thanks for the pics! I haven't really seen much of Philly, dare I say that it is overshadowed by The Big Apple? Having a below-streetlevel plaza with direct acces to the subway.. that's a concept! Also, it seems like there's a good amount of impressive architecture there in...

^I know what you mean about Belgium, it is hard not to like it. I used to pass through it for years, on my way to France... until I visited it properly last June. I liked it so much that I went back there in less than two months since my last visit. Here are more photos that I couldn't upload...

Awesome pics. I can appreciate the graffiti on the last pics (though it's certainly not the most imaginitive, creative stuff). Graffiti can enhance streetsscapes, but there is a line to draw between artwork and plain tagging.

There didn't seem to be a lot of construction activity at the station. Apart from the platforms that are situated just a bit above streetlevel, there was a new set of platforms situated underground: It somewhat reminded me of the new railway station in Berlin, though this one was far less...

In random order, these the pics of my 3-day trip to Antwerp earlier this month. Antwerp has 466.000 inhabitants (in the city proper). It is Belgium's second city. It is also the second largest harbourcity in Europe, after Rotterdam. Music

Thanks for the pictures. Loved to see Sarnia, I've never seen anything of it before. A longtime friend of our family has lived there for some 15 years. He moved back to Holland (to The Hague) in the 80s due to personal circumstances. He still misses Sarnia (and Canada overall) a lot, he really...

Toronto looks much denser today than in the seventies on those pictures. I'd say the city has made a lot of progress. The streets also appear to be much busier on the pics taken in 2007.

I had no internet at home the past few days. And now that I log on to the board again, I find 3 awesome threads about abandoned roads and lost neighbourhoods! Great work.

Those are some nice shots of the Lake! You capture gardens pretty good.

Certainly a nice town, thanks for the pictures. Too bad some of those older buildings haven't been maintained very well.

Nice pictures, thanks for sharing!

Very interesting, thanks for compiling this! It's interesting to see how you shed a fresh light on these parks. Many of these offices are empty, because municipal governments all around the country are eager to built them, because of the financial advantage that's involved (nothing is as...

I took a short city trip to Antwerp last week. On wednesday, I took the train down to Brussels to visit the city once more. To me, Brussels is worth a visit just as much as Paris (or London). It has grand avenues, urban parks, skyscraperclusters à la 'la Défense' and impressive public spaces...

Nice shots, looking foreward to part II!

A few summertime shots from my hometown, which has been dubbed 'City of Architecture' for the year 2007, to emphasize the fact that the city is home to an unusual amount of post-war experimental architecture. Welcome to: Around subway station 'Eendrachtsplein'. The westersingel, Rotterdam's...

Toronto looks great from the water. Love the last shot.
