A row of stones divides the neighbourhood park "De Porre" in Gentbrugge. Looking a little closer, you soon see that some stones are numbered, and others have a rather elegant shape. This is more than just a pile of old stones.

To highlight the industrial past of the former harbour docks, the city of Ghent parked several old harbour cranes around the water, including the ST1 crane at the disused Timber Dock (or Houtdok).
