Tintin in Brussels

Climbing on the walls in the streets of the old downtown.

Sniff's favourite

As usual, Sniff is very focused.

Brussels graffiti!

Well, the pictures say more than I ever could!

Market square

Back in this most typical of Low Countries' town planning-feature!

Street views

An assortment of street views from Antwerpen.

Balconies

As usual, I cannot resist taking photos of balconies!

Antwerpen

Details from the streets - the statues are historical or mythical illustrations to the town's history.

Other details

More sights from inside the Antwerpen cathedral.

Rubens

The cathedral proudly displayed their paintings by Flemish Baroque painter Rubens.

Madonnas

Magnificent Madonnas in the side-aisles of the cathedral.

WOMAD Abu Dhabi

Am hoping artists will not be stopped by ash-cloud and cancelled flights. Otherwise, I know wehere I will be over the coming weekend!

Stained glass windows

Light from the dim grey day was significantly more interesting through the coloured windows!

Inside the cathedral

Finally, inside Antwerpen cathedral - a very white and light main hall - but very different on the sides.

Cathedral

Another quick look outside the catehdral, before entering.

Other towers in the town

Or at least buildings with height.

Antwerpen cathedral

We will look into the magnificent and richly endowed cathedral shortly, but first a look at the tower above it.
