Well, if you read this post, you've noticed that I "switched hosts". By that I mean, I finally got my own host after spending about 13 years on the web. I decided to get rid of the free Wordpress.com account before I grew to dependent on the free service since every link/search engine points to that site. So, don't forget to update your bookmarks/RSS readers!
As a first post on my new cyberhome, I present you with a picture I found quite amusing called: "Tango Anyone?". Of course better captions are always welcome, maybe someone has inspiration to make this a "LOLVulture"? If you don't know what...

Last weekend we went to Planckendael, which is a zoo near Mechelen, Belgium. I must admit that I was disappointed by the quality of the park. The park itself is bigger than the Antwerp Zoo, but seems to have less animals and in general a lot less interesting animals.

I've been listening a bit too much to country music at work lately, especially "Where I come from" - Alan Jackson, which inspired me to take a picture of the building I live in. After several unsuccessful tries (cars passing by) I finally managed to get 3 exposures to combine to HDR. The only mistake I made was to, without my knowing, include part of myself and my tripod in the picture...
The symbol you see on the building is a Native American symbol called "Kokopelli", which has many different and strange meanings...
I first encountered this symbol in Moab, Utah where I bought a Kokopelli...
