Graffiti bear on the famous Werregaren Straat, Ghent. Also colloquially known as ‘Graffiti Street’, this is apparently the only place in Ghent where street art (i.e. graffiti) is legal.

Photo: Grundtvigs Kirke
Apse of Grundtvigs Kirke (Grundtvig’s Church) in Copenhagen, Denmark. A spectacular example of modernist, minimalist Gothic architecture. Wikipedia describes it as ‘expressionist’ but it is clearly not – it is too restrained, the decorative elements are minimised and there is a phenomenal sense of stillness and tranquility. It is a fabulous colour too – photographs don’t really capture the delicacy of the yellow/cream brickwork in the interior of the church.
