January 15, foggy day out, and with the melt in full swing, everything was a muddy mess. I’ve been riding past this mural of what I assume is a series of stills depicting a woman donning her shawl. It is painted on the back wall of a school for children with disabilities in Vilvoorde, Belgium.

More seasonal pop up yard art, while it lasts and the snowmen melt, until the next snow storm: 255 Lynhaven Dr, Alexandria VA

1/15/25 This yard art was hard to get a good pic with my vantage point but is worth zooming in to see. The black blur at the bottom is my bar mitt.

I love this tree art. Mother Nature’s art – with some help. It’s at Lee-Harrison shopping center near the Harris teeter.

🤔 I wonder if they’re gonna change the name to Langston Harrison shipping ctr….. It’s kinda a mouthful though unfortunately

Doing my best to look angelic in an alley off Bethesda Avenue. Somewhat hindered by the fact I had to tap on my watch to take the selfie.

The Mechelen-Nekkerspoel Station, not the original station, but it sits on the same location of the first train station in Belgium, established in 1835 (Belgium was the second country in Europe with a rail line after England, which if you ask a Brit means Belgium was the first in Europe  😉 ). This station was built from 2021, after the station prior to it, built in 1902, was demolished. The previous station was ugly, despite a facelift in the 1960s. This one is quite beautiful to behold, especially at night, and exudes a modern art aesthetic.

In addition to the front of the station, here’s a shot of the back.

1/16/25 Wonderful mural in Falls Church near the WOD and West St. I had never noticed it before.

With all the times I’ve been to Strathmore, you wouldn’t think there would be any New2Me art left there. But I just noticed this (“Tower,” by Barton Rubenstein) today.

As I was biking to get to a different piece of artwork, I accidentally ran across this New2Me sculpture at the corner of Frederick Road and West Gude Drive in Rockville.
