Nice.. Ironically, I just picked up my son this morning from the airport, after arriving back to Sydney from Belgium..

Got me these little goodies..

Love the pics and the way you show how you care and enjoy your 1M.
The color is just breathless under those conditions.

wait, is this an official Belgian sign meaning 'no love making' here?

Nice pics, VO is awesome in the sun!

Thanks all.

Nothing staged. Mere serendipism. Random Sunday eve fun drive last weekend. Noticed the sign, sun was sitting right and decided to stop by for snapping a few pics.
No camera with me, so ended up with Blackberry 9900 pics.

Just checked the sign at Google Street View (location: 50°50'48.74" N 4°33'58.74 E): no heart yet. So that must be a rather recent gimmick.

Anyways, the 1M got a secret kiss from the sign, as proved by the picture below of the VO roof...

I assume that the stripes in the skies are related to nearby air traffic. The location is close to the take-off corridor of the national airport (Brussels area).

Here's that picture in its original format (2560x1920). Too bad I had no camera with me.

cool photos Art. I especially like the one with the sign reflection on the roof. Lived in Belgium (Brussels) for 3 years and loved my time there and miss it.
