Exactly half a year ago, on a warm and rainy summer night. I love walking through the night, enjoying the silence, discovering beauty and letting the mind and emotions breathe.😊

The Abbey of Averbode in Flemish-Brabant, Belgium, was founded in 1134 on initiative of Arnold II, Count of Loon. The church was built between 1664 and 1672 and is a synthesis of Baroque and Gothic, with Renaissance ornament details.

It's a nice place to visit, especially in combination with the nearby nature reserve. The abbey also runs a cafe and shop where they sell their own gingerbread, cheese, bread and beer.

That's my nevus flammeus🔥, better known as port-wine stain🍷. It's a harmless capillary malfunction in the skin. The fine blood vessels that run below the epidermis are increased and widened, which causes the reddish color. It's already present at birth. In most cases, it's linked to a somatic mosaic mutation with exchange of a base pair in the GNAQ gene🧬. Mosaicism is a condition in which a single organism possesses more than one genetic line. Getting rid of it wouldn't be a problem these days. But I like the feature!✌️

The St. Christopher's Cathedral in Roermond, Netherlands. It was built in the 15th and 16th centuries. The main church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Roermond has already been through a lot:

1554: City fire
1556: Iconoclasm
1572: Looted by the troops of William the Silent
1591: Collapse of the vault
1614: Storm damage
1892: Tower burns down
1921: Spire collapses during a storm
1945: Germans blow up the tower
1992: Earthquake

The tower has been restored to its old form after the war.

As soon as the sun sets, a lot of lizards start scoping. Purple sky, golden reed. What's green is green and blue is hoping.
