Sunday churches

 
Leuven
Mechelen 

 
Brussels

 
St Gilles
Lissewege
 Brussels
While my kids are running the Antwerp 10 miles today,  I plan on going on a ROA-hunt (see previous posting) because I am convinced that there must be some around here and not only in Perth, Australia and am determined to find them. ... It does not really matter to me whether his art is - as some of you said in your comments - cool, ugly, inspiring, lugubrious ... I just want to find more ROA right here in Belgium. 
So, that is hopefully coming up soon... For today, I found inspiration at Genie's from http://parisandbeyond-genie.blogspot.com/ who shows a Parisian church every Sunday.

    Wonderful photos. I hope you track down some of the ROA paintings.
    We have been watching the London Marathon today so I hope that your kids do well in the 10 mile. Diane

    Prachtige kerken hier. Ik hou van kerken en ik vind het een goed idee om iedere Zondag een kerk te laten zien. Ga jij ermee beginnen? Ik doe wel mee.

    Thanks Diane, the 10 miles actually start right now and it is pouring down rain here in Brussels.. hopefully the sun is shining in Antwerp.

    Blij dat je het leuk vindt, Riet. Prachtidee maar ik weet nooit wat ik de volgende dag wil posten ... en verkies de vrijheid en flexibility !

    Hey Gracie, I received an interesting link to Roa's work on the previous (yours) posting... with more details on where to find him.

    What a scandal, I have only been in the one in Leuven and I published already 93 articles about churches all over the world.

    Greetings,
    Filip

    Thank you kindly for the link, mon amie. I will probably never run out of church photos and if I run low will have to return - hah!

    There is great contrast in the architecture styles you have shown... fascinating!

    Bises,
    Genie

    Ik heb ROA gespot aan de cementfabriek (Haven Gent), je kan er geraken via de Afrikalaan. De oude gele silo's kan je dan niet mislopen!!!

    Hallo Anni,
    Zoals Filip zei: niemand is sant in eigen land... Ik ook heb al meer foto's van kerken in het buitenland gepubliceerd dans uit onze eigen streek die nochtans voldoende stof tot fotograferen biedt!
    K'zal er toch eens werk moeten van maken.
    Groetjes,
    Frans

    I would not call it a "scandal" Filip, but an opportunity to go on a discovery hunt...we never run out of things to photograph, plenty of material everywhere.

    Thanks Kris, happy you took the time to re-write.

    If you run low, Genie, you just let me know... I might be able to help out.

    Thank you, Carolyn, and thank you for being follower number 200.

    Guy, bedankt voor de tip... een goeie reden voor een bezoekje aan Gent.

    Frans, zo is het vaak, denk ik. Omwille van de titel van mijn blog heb ik het probleem in omgekeerde richting en heb soms zin om dingen die ik in het buitenland fotografeerde te posten.

    Jeroen, merci!

    Carla, so delighted you enjoyed the book. I totally understand your time considerations...seeing you on the web, published in magazines etc

    I love exploring churches while I'm in Europe, I think it is because in the US (especially in the Western half where I live) we don't have anything like it. Nothing with the same age or history
