Kitty Name: Tyker Funf Location: Mons, Belgium What's the story? Tyker is a son of a bitch. I'm serious and I'm not kidding. He gets in the car and says Let's go to Brussels. I tell him, I don't know Brussels. He says, How can you be in Belgium and not get to Belgium? Then he insisted. So, I drove there and got there. I told him quite clearly that I'd take no more than three turns from the expressway. He moaned. I drove, turned, turned, turned again. I realized I was nowhere, and then saw a clear sign back to Mons. We turned and headed right back. Once we got to Mons, he was a lot better. He wanted me to drive to a tall steeple. Note that the streets are poorly signed and I just had to look at things above the houses and drive toward them. We got to the steeple where there was a very large cathedral. He says, go in, go in. I said, It's a Cathedral, not a Cat-Thedral, Asswhipe! That wasn't funny to him. I knew he was hurt so I took him in. The place was just like the 800 year old cathedrals you've seen in books, only this one wasn't as well maintained, which is kind of cool; lots of stuff was original, but worn. I liked that. Kitty purred. I think he liked it too. He posed for lots of reverent kitty photos. Ever see a kitty pray? Me neither, till today. Then, we left the church and turned left, walking. Suddenly the narrow road opened up to this enormous bricked plaza with beautiful and stately old buildings all around. Tons of seating space for dining, drinking and smoking. We wandered, because I didn't want him to use his French. Tyker can't take advice, and refuses to use proper pronunciation, making us stand out every where we go. We took lots of pictures there, one with a very special fountain. He likes fountains. He wanted to see the famous pissing boy statue in Brussels, so this one was just going to have to do. Then we went to eat at a place a student recommended - an Algierian place and got Lamb tajine. The meat was amazing. Tyker purred and said it reminded him of some higher-end canned cat food he'd had in the past. I asked him to stop talking and drank my beer. He lapped the water off of the side of my glass. I was happy so I scratched his chin. Submitted by: Phil Webpage: N/A *This photo is part of the TRAVEL KITTY PROJECT


Earl Haig inspecting the guard of honour
Made by National Library of Scotland
General Haig inspecting troops, Messine, Belgium. The image is framed by two rows of soldiers down either side, angling away from the camera. Between them General Haig and his staff are approaching the photographer. The group is moving with a determined and purposeful air. There are buildings just visible in the background. The propaganda value of this formal and ceremonial moment would have been immense. Inspiring pride and patriotism as well as intimating a bond between royalty and soldiers, this image would have made for classic propaganda. [Original reads: 'UNVEILING OF THE MEMORIAL CROSS OF THE LONDON SCOTTISH REGIMENT BY H.M. THE KING OF THE BELGIANS AT MESSINES, BELGIUM. Earl Haig inspecting the Guard of Honour.'] digital.nls.uk/74548570


#15 Levi's Kiss
Made by LANCEPHOTO
frame #15 Waiting at the bus stop in Mons, Belgium. After seeing the contrast between the advertising models and the regular people here, I'd been wanting to shoot a picture of them waiting at this bus stop for a year or so but it just never came together right. Finally I had the right camera and film when I was walking by this time and saw them waiting for a bus. After I composed, focused and clicked one, this young couple started kissing, making this 2nd shot another one of my favorite images. I just love pictures of people kissing. Not sure why.
