After thunder and a rain shower a sky full of beautiful colors with 2 beautiful looking rainbows, I saw them on the way home, here in Belgium we don't often see 2 rainbows appearing simultaneously in the sky, I had to be quick, I couldn't capture them completely in 1 image, I wasn't the only spectator as you can see, it must have been spectacular

Getting a breath of fresh air by the sea and walking along the seal beach, a nice place to watch the sun set. You are surrounded by water on the 700 meter long breakwater, constructed to protect the Coast against storms

at the back the New Pier of Ostend which takes you into the water, the small beach is on the right where seals arrive, you walk past the lighthouse 'Lange Nelle' which is how the Ostend lighthouse is popularly called ~ has been a household name in Ostend since 1949. Consequently, the three light beams that are supposed to represent the letter O of Ostend in Morse code have been shining through the bedrooms and living rooms of several people living in Ostend for decades. Today, the lighthouse still serves as a beacon for shipping, but its light not only shines over the sea, but also inland, 360 degrees around
"The light of the 'Lange Nelle' has been a beacon on our Flemish coast since 1949. You can't take that light away from Easterners."

We do what people do at the sea ~ a lovely walk on the Ostend pier, breathe in the healthy sea air, watch the rushing waves of the North Sea in the north wind like this seagull at a safe distance on the beach of Ostend. View of the neighbouring seaside resort of Middelkerke from here ~ Beware the dangers of the sea

The North Sea is a border sea of the Atlantic Ocean in northwestern Europe

May the 15th 2023 ~ Coastal water cleaner than 30 years ago ~

Snow field in the Park van Tervuren, Keizerinnedreef tree lined lane traffic free ~ A snowy landscape is not forever, the memory of it is

already 46 years ago I cycled home from school in all weathers, the 6 km ride was amazing, every day I rode past the ponds and the museum, it did me good to breathe the pure oxygen it gave me a lot of energy. I like to remember the everyday beautiful things and it makes me very happy to be there again, all those beautiful memories come back as if it were yesterday, it was so nice because time flies, it is as if time has stood still here

The artist Vic De Vos of Bonheiden carved the three beautiful signposts with the symbols of Mechelen in 1954. For decades the woodcarvings showed visitors the way to the most beautiful buildings and museums and were featured on tourist posters and postcards.They have withstood all weathers and were in bad shape. After renovation, everyone can admire them in all their glory in the streets again, for me it's a nice meeting place...

All birds are descended from dinosaurs, but the chicken is genetically the most similar to a dinosaur.

Anyone who has seen the film 'Jurassic Park' would not indicate the terrifying creatures, but of the animals still living, Tyrannosaurus rex is genetically closest to chickens and ostriches.

It was previously known that birds descended from dinosaurs but bone research now shows that chickens and ostriches are more similar to the extinct giants than reptiles such as crocodiles and lizards.
