Manhole Covers

A couple of years ago I visited Lisbon with my daughter. 

We went to the former Expo, wich was held in 1998. 

I spotted a manhole cover made especially for this event.

 Since that time I looked in cities for a manhole cover showing someting about the city.

Don't think I only look at the ground :)

On Pinterest I have a board of manhole covers.

René Magritte

One of my favorite artist is the Belgian painter René Margritte. (1898-1967)

The school teacher (1954)

Le blanc-seing (1965)


There is always something strange in his paintings

La grande  guerre (1964)

Golconde (1953)

Painting on a house, the picture was taken  in Berlin in 2012

The images are scans taken form the book Margritte by Jacques Meuris 

except for the last one, that one was taken by me.
