Crisp clear morning light --
bands of silver jetstream
bind up this city.

Brussels
Brussels is an extraordinary city, blessed with masses of high-flying jet planes, some heading for the transatlantic route or returning from it, some flying North-South over Europe. They all seem to cross over Brussels, and it amuses me that so many seem to follow exactly the street that joins our two office buildings. Sometimes, the jetstreams are visible in the silver moonlight, another magnificent sight... This morning, the many lines running parallel and at right angles to each other, looked like ribbons wrapping the town from somewhere in the sky above.

To me, the words "crisp clear" convey the temperate European winter at its best.
