I received a few queries about where the previous picture "Walking in style" was taken. The square in Knokke is shown here from different perspectives. Knokke is located at the Belgian coast not far from the Dutch border.
This square is named after Rubens and is completely covered in tiles of blue and grey shades which give it a special effect. The sculpture in photo1 is by Franz West.
In summer kids bustle around the pedestrian part of the square in little cars and on bikes, skateboards and skates while parents watch from nearby terraces such as café-restaurant Rubens, shown here inside and outside.

Wat een schande, ik ben nog nooit in Knokke geweest maar het ziet er goed uit.
Groetjes,
Filip

A happening place would be a perfect description, Genie ! thanks
What an interesting special effect with those tiles!
nOtre côte est vraiment devenue artificielle, un long mur de 60 kms de buildings ... c'est un peu triste je trouve ...
Rambling, Janet, you should come see for yourself one of these days !
Jacques Robert, je vois ce que tu dis .. mais j'aime quand-m^me, je regarde la mer, la plage, les dunes et le plat pays qui suit, au sujet duquel je compte poster qq chose aujourd'hui
That square is amazing.
Oh, I love the beautiful tiles in the first couple of photos. they are indeed distinctive and must be lovely to see in person.
