for absolutely no reason...
...and because I have no ideas for anything interesting to say at the moment, here are two pictures I took of the Antwerp train station on my last visit there, which is when I wanted to buy some Yasuhiro Mihara designed Puma shoes, but the three pair which were interesting to me were all sold out, and so I went shopping at my favorite second hand clothing store, where my friend Rob bought a dress and since then I've just been working on sounds, making ridiculously involved music systems in SuperCollider getting ready for a show in Amsterdam on Sunday, and making an installation for a gallery as well, and then I'm leaving the country on Thursday, for three weeks of work with Blast Theory in London and Manchester so I have to pack. So ,until I can think of something interesting to say, two pictures of the Antwerp train station. It has quite a dramatic style:

Gorgeous. Cathedral-like enough to appeal to the masses (stones, thick walls, and so on). But at the same time, using the new technology of that era, steal, which allowed 'light' architectures, yet was strong enough to carry the weight of glass panels.
Retro-futurist, if you want. The Blade Runner version of a train station.
me like a lot!
