Fun Facts
The photograph on the cover, awalkaday 251-2022
, was shot, edited and published online prior to the installation of a sculpture on the same site inside a public park in Namur (Wallonia, Belgium).
This black-and-white photo captured a fleeting moment in time before a renowned sculpture was moved to its current and permanent location. It preserves for ages a romantic outdoor scene: a lovely couple of people sitting in the open air on the grass in the shade of a glowing tree.
Sculpted in bronze by Belgian artist Nat Neujean, The Daughters of Water (1951) depicts two intertwined nymphs, symbolizing two European rivers: the Meuse and the Sambre. These colorful photographs of the sculpture were taken on May 8th in 2024, a day that commemorates the second war-ending victory of democracy over fascist ideologies across Europe in the mid-20th century.

and The Daughters of Water both have their roots in a 19th century park named after the first Queen of the Belgians, Louise-Marie. Note the uncanny similarities between the color photographs of a bronze sculpture of a couple of nymphs and a monochrome photograph of a couple of human beings, all in the shade of the same slowly aging tree.
Ethereum Domain Names + Photo Showcase
Four ENS domains, owned by daqhris.eth
and named after Belgian towns and rivers, have been decorated with awalkaday
