A Polish rainbow in Brussels

My lunchtime errands have been much more colourful for the last month or so, as the esplanade in front of the European Parliament has been hosting a little art installation in honour of the Polish Presidency of the EU.


It's called "The Rainbow", imaginatively enough, and is made of thousands of artificial flowers attached to a metal frame. The artist is Julita Wójcik, an artist from Gdańsk who specialises in installations and performance art.
Apparently it symbolises a different kind of gateway into the European Parliament, and peace and harmony and all sorts of things like that, but I mostly think it looks quite pretty in the autumn sun. Yes, I am a philistine.
