A tree grows

…And the steel climbs.

Ground zero's ground zero

Into the void.

Grounds for reflection

World Trade Center Memorial settles  in to summer.

Loop de Louve

Museum with a twist.

The heart of the beast

…Under glass.

Just dive in

It's a lovely day poolside.

Pool time

Just a deck chair and a mojito and we're cool.

Where Paris hangs

The best view comes from the little round table.

Convivality

It's Latin, but I'm sure the French perfected it.

Waiting for the A train

Next stop, 125th Street…No, wait, La Defense.

Win a few…

…And put up a monument.

Iron lace

Remember to tighten the bolts.

From down under

The butt shot.

Gargoyle yapping

Well, you're pretty ugly, too…

Wait, there it is…

In the middle of the woods.

Just up the street

Almost my back yard, you might say.

Follow me, boys!

Victory is just around the corner.

Almost like home

Wonder if the fries are French.

Gateway

Gare du Nord--Paris begins here.

Fast train to Paris

Leaving from track 46, Gare de Lille Europe.

First stop: Lille

And off we go.

When the whistle blows

…We're off.

Off we go…

Headed for the TGV at Brussels Gare du Midi.

Just ducky

At home in Leopold Park, Brussels.

To and fro…

Looking for a quiet place by the Bourse.

The quiet…

…Before the storm.

St. Gery rocks

Everybody comes here.

Law factory

The European Commission lives here.

The EU meets here

European Parliament capitol overlooks Leopold Park.

School outing

Let's see, which guildhall is this?

Eat street

No one need go hungry in Brussels.

Hanging on the main stem

Going Irish in Brussels.

Big deal

Worth a big arch for the 50th anniversary.

To market, to market

…And stop for a bite or a drink.

Kazoo concert

To go with the mussels and frites.

Maybe the mussels, oui?

Dining out at Grand Place, Brussels.

Sky high

Visit a gallery or two at the St. Hubert Arcade, Brussels.

Night time is the right time

Let's talk about this.

Asiatown

The east comes to Brussels.

Icing on the cake

Grand Place the place in Brussels.

Friday night lights

Where Brussels comes to party.

It's Paris, Harris

It looks just like a postcard!

A bit bent

Stretching things on the West Side.

So close

Brooklyn, almost there.

Ratlines

When sailors worked the sails.

Now playing

St. George slays the dragon.

Inside story

Hoboken Ferry Terminal's guts, revealed.

Over the river

Yonder lies Brooklyn.

Down by the river

Downtown's new sandbox.

South Street spring

Weather report: mild and sunny.
