While living in Nederland, often visited Putte and City of Antwerpen.

One of nicest Europian places to be. And Belgian Waffle!? Nyamy!

2 Local Heros

by globetrott

This statue on Grand Place shows 2 local heros :
Pieter De Coninck - a weaver and Jan Breyder - a butcher
Both of them fought sucessfully in 1302 against Brügges occupation by the French
And in the background of this pic you see the Provincial Court, a building from the 19th century Brave men certainly deserve a monument !!

Not so good for veggies

by Vaughany

There's not much choice for vegetarians here. I looked at most of the menus in the town centre and they all seem to do a great steak and lots of mussels. Although there's little provision for veggies, you can usually get a pizza.

One more piece of Lori's Lace.

by Waalewiener

Another type of costly Lace is Valenciennes This Lace is often used for
wedding veils . It is woven in a mesh or net with a figure or pattern that is part of the mesh itself. Chantilly is another kind of
hand made Lace that can be made into veils ,gowns, blouses, or shawls. There are many other laces , some of which developed as variations of older styles.and some of which are totally different from the types allready mentioned.
An English Lace called Honiton is made out of a foundation of net. Fine braid is placed on the net in graceful patterns and woven in place.

Technique is just a means ;-)

by Norali

OK, don't rate this... enlarge the picture, instead.

This is what I imagine of the Brugge of comic strips !

Everything is there: the ancient architecture, the canals, l'heure bleue and already the lights... Sure, a software helps but I love this effect.

I took this picture just before Gillian and I got lost. The other Vters turned somewhere right. I had the memory of having seen Caroline walking on the bridge (she is the landmark, being really tall, you can spot her easily) but I was not sure. It was just a fraction of a second before I snapped this and followed our path up to the bridge. Be reassured, the other Vters tracked back and joined us at the bridge... from our right. :-) we were not lost, just partially lost. ;-)

What can I say ? With this semi-darkness and the crowd around, you easily lose sight of your companions in Brugge...
