From 0 to 9, each number corresponds to a color. Rectangular panels correspond to whole numbers, and square panels to decimal numbers. Grey panels mark the beginning of a new series, which represents a statistic fact. For instance, at the following example the number of medical personnel in 2004 is 524,759:

Also, colors correspond to music notes. Red is C, orange is D flat / C sharp, light green is D, pink is E flat / D sharp, yellow is E, green is F, purple is G bemol / F sharp, blue is G, skyblue is A flat / G sharp and brown is B:

my favourite photo I've taken in a long time. It's of a church near my house. I lost the original photo but I like this edited version more.

I went to Maastricht with a friend (Bart) today.
We expected more snow, but apart from that it was a very nice afternoon.
Took loads of pictures.

A lot of people seem to like this one. I'd say it has some flaws, but then I'm overly critical
