It's great to travel but sometimes photos closer to home can work out just fine too. With the right light/ weather conditions, 'ordinary' landscapes can get a touch of magic too:
These clusters confirm what I noticed living in #Denmark, great #cycling infrastructure in the cities, but very little in more rural or suburban areas. This is unlike the #Netherlands, which has infrastructure almost everywhere, even in small towns and suburbs. I suspect even #Flanders in #Belgium might be a bit better in rural/suburban areas (although still not great, and nowhere near the Netherlands). Would be interesting to see a comparison.

Ben vergeten op welk kerkhof in de Westhoek ik deze foto nam.
Niettemin: lest we forget.

Back on Mastodon after a long hiatus - here’s a new #introduction. I'm an #introvert living in #Australia, originally from #Flanders #Belgium.
I love #gaming, especially story-driven and simulation games like #MassEffect, #BaldursGate3, #SOMA, #CitiesSkylines, #WorldOfWarcraft, #TheLastOfUs. Aside from that, currently enjoying the new season of #InterviewWithTheVampire.
Expect mostly gaming/pop culture talk, with occasional insights on living abroad and cultural differences. Good to be back!
