It’s been already a week since the deadly attacks in Brussels. These probably are the most difficult days in Belgium in many years.
Belgium is famous for its chocolates, waffles and beer. It is a beautiful country surrounded by medieval old towns and Flemish Renaissance architecture. A place that many people, including myself, would love to visit some day.
Belgium became one of the latest target for the kind of violence we have witnessed all over the world. Innocent people have become victims and are still being targeted in many different countries. Sometimes it seems this will never end. We need peace and, despite our differences, we need to find kindness and love for each other in our hearts.
Giving a humble tribute and love to our Belgian community, here is a beautiful selection of photographs from the 1X’s archives.
“Photography is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.”
– Alfred Stieglitz
Our hearts and thoughts are with all the victims of violence throughout the world and with their loved ones.

 | Mohammad Soheilinia This series of photos is very diverse and interesting start to see the architecture and street photography, conceptual and abstract ends,
I must say that, for example, used his technical picture is wide angle lens of professional photographers is shown in these photos is another attraction.

 | Graham Daly Great collection of images from a great bunch of talented photographers....a shame about the sad context and backstory but hopefully the beautiful art on display will help bring somewhat of a smile to people's faces and hopefully will convince people that there are still plenty of good things and good people in this world despite some of the nastiness that we see taking place :-( |
| Carla DLM You are so right. This world would be so different if people use their mind to do good things. Maybe one day we can have peace. Human nature is sometimes difficult to understand.
Wish you a lovely week Graham, and thanks for your kind words. |
