There are many beautiful ways, we can call them hidden more than secret, and all you have to do is just exploring the city with all the marginal and main streets and way!and you'll be happy everytime you see something new!
Again St.Luc, but this time it is to show the structure, it is really really big!and it is almost for all the specializations!and there is the maternite section for new babies to be born, just like how I came to this life LOL
I was fascinated to see those really big and high buildings in Brussles, actually there are more in Brussles than in Paris, in spite of the fact that Paris is much bigger than Brussles!Parisian people explain the phenomena that many buildings in Brussles were destroyed in the II world war!
Where ever I was going there were beautiful streets and corners!I was greedy in taking pictures, in general, people take a picture of everything that moves, I some times like to take picture of things that don't move LOL
Near the Law Courts you will have a possibelity to see the roofs of the houses in the area, as the street goes down there!and you will be happy to see the green views even in some of the roofs of the houses, like here, it is very special and tipical to Brussles!
I've been hunting for such a narrow path, and I finally chased it and took it in picture!it is also in the beautiful oldtown of Brussles!knowing my fanatism of taking such pictures, you can verify in other pages of line and see it is my real weakness ;-)
I was walking and thinking of the all types of the Gardens, there is a classification, there are French, English Gardens!I didn't know there are details and differences between the Gardens styles!for me a beautiful garden is a beautiful nature!
The King of Spain:Baker's House:Dome of Italian inspiration. The facade is adorned by a bust of Charles II,the king of Spain, and by four medallions representing the effigy of Roman emperors.Above the front door a golden bust of Saint Hubert -Parton saint of the bakers- .
I was happy to have a stop in a cafe in this area, and it was good to recharge my Digital camera in the cafe as the battrey was done!and then after one hour of the break, I continued the discovering trip of the beauty of Brussles!
There are many beautiful ways, we can call them hidden more than secret, and all you have to do is just exploring the city with all the marginal and main streets and way!and you'll be happy everytime you see something new!
