The bright side of the summer

I have been quite silent lately on the blog because one of the most exciting mission of the summer has been canceled at the last minute. I did not travel to Korea and I have spent quite some time in Belgium instead.

Nevertheless, those weeks have been quite rich in
geographical imaginations. The Nova cinema (http://www.nova-cinema.org/) organised the pleinopenair in various places of Brussels mainly touched by the International Development Plan (PDI) which is going theoretically to transform dramatically some parts of the town (Molembeek, Midi, Tour&Taxis, etc.) with a gentrification process quite difficult to predict. On the shores of the canal there was Bruxelles-le-bain, which created the Belgium version of an urban beach. Festivals around the Country transformed for few days empty fields in temporary micro-cities full of (young) people and music.
I am just back from one of them - Pukkelpop (www.pukkelpop.be) - which started the bright side of my summer with three days of good music, sun and holiday!

Here you have a present which you can get by clikking on the link below:
porcarorama IV (the bright side of the summer)

I hope you will enjoy it!

(comments are welcome)

cheers!
