RE: Day 9 - Team Beck in Bruges (and Dunkirk, so not a movie)

lovely architecture \o/, the basil growing in the recess is indeed strange but nicer to look at than just a metal cover, maybe its the equivalent of when they used to take birds down the mines to help monitor the atmosphere maybe the basil gives an indication of what the atmosphere is like under the cover who knows lol, I'm liking the beer glass with the jester on it i must try to get me one of those \o/

Hi, @coindevil - yes, it was strange, stranger perhaps because the other recesses (which might have been for night lighting) were devoid of plant or other discernible life. Why that one? Why basil? Maybe you're right...perhaps it's an indicator herb. 😉

As for the glass, the word reminded me of a comic strip I used to read when I was a kid. It featured an anteater whose tongue would make a "zot!" sound whenever it caught an ant. I think. Unless my memory is deeply flawed, which is possible...I also loved the beer jester...😜😜
