Walking in circles

From the series : http://www.photo-erwin.com/gallery.asp?gallery_id=1802&

I today start a new series on PN.

The title is : �The Schuman Avenue�. Robert Schuman�s declaration of

May 9th 1950 lead to the creation of what is now the European Union

(R. Schuman was the then French Minister of Foreign Affairs).

The Schuman Avenue is a virtual avenue which symbolises here the

complex of more than 100 buildings in Brussels, concentrated mainly

around the existing Rond Point Schuman, where the different European

institutions have their offices. It has lead to a strange mix of

modern architecture, implemented side to side of historical buildings.

Old and new face each other, not always in the best possible way.

What I will present you, is how I personally feel about the

surrounding, how I perceive it. With the exception of a few, all shots

are in black and white. You will recognize however certain style

elements also present in Fragments of the Provence : tendency towards

the abstract, underlining textures and lines. Looking for the beauty

in things.

Please follow me on my trip in this Avenue.
