    The countryside reminds me a lot of England - Flanders is a bit like the east of England whilst Wallonia reminds me of some of the unspoilt areas in the Midlands.
    That's what makes Belgium a lot purer than the Netherlands, that's for sure. Here every single inch has been tilted over again and again and again.

    Well Flanders to me doesn't look much different from the western provinces of NL whereas Wallonia looks like less of a "controlled" landscape.
    But Wallonia has man-made hedgerows everywhere and its woodlands are organised into tidy little pockets - just like much of England.

    Really there's not much wilderness on the North European Plain or in England, most of the landscapes in England, NL and Belgium have been and are still controlled by man to a large extent.
    I think the only wildernesses these countries have are their moors and rich coastlines.

    Man's influence over the landscape in Wallonia is not as abrupt as it is in Western NL or Eastern England though, it still has some charm. In much of Eastern England there are just massive fields of wheat and it can resemble a featureless steppe sometimes.
    Pastoral lands always look a bit more natural than arable I suppose.

    Wallonia and the more hilly areas of NL and Flanders remind me of how the English like to see their nation - the gentle rolling hills interspersed by little villages, churches and pockets of woodland. Nothing special, no wilderness, just tranquil calm.

    Probably the worst angle for La Roche's castle.

    A2 and E25 in the Netherlands and Belgium from Maastricht to Liège.


    The city of Liège long lacked a bypass for north-south traffic folllowing E25 from Maastricht towards Luxembourg. The new bypass opened in 2000, but is a substantial longer route than going through the city. This video shows the old transit route through Liège.



    Wake up and smell the coffee.
