While abroad, especially when on a mission like the Olympic one to London last weekend, I am always excited when I spot "This is Belgium" material. But honestly, it's not always as easy or obvious as you might think. I did not see anything that could link the National Portrait Gallery to this blog (but I like the reflection photo through the glass ceiling of the cafeteria) nor could I link St Paul's cathedral to Belgium (but I like the 'Thank you for visiting..." sign).
I thoroughly enjoyed Damien Hirst's expo and did find these black yellow and red shawls ready for me to be snapped in Tate Modern's gift shop ;-)

Ook de 'thank you for visiting...' is rood.geel.zwart, Anni !
ReplyDeleteLie(f)s.
tja, maar ik wou nu toch ook niet overdrijven, Lies
DeleteI liked the one with the kids in front of the intestines :)
ReplyDeleteyes, me too, Judy, that is Damien Hirst's work.. google his name.. fascinating
DeleteI've never been keen on Hirst...but very much so on St.Pauls!
ReplyDeleteWere the shawls arranged like that to start with...or did you have to take a hand!
did not touch them !
DeleteAh, yes! The first one is my favorite, too! Fun shots for the day, Anni!
ReplyDeletethank you, Sylvia
DeleteLove those intestines!
ReplyDeleteGreat intestines but I love your shot of the cafe with the reflections and light... Sounds like you had a great time in London town!
ReplyDeleteBises,
Genie
yes Genie, it was almost as great as Paris ! :)
DeleteThe Tate and Saint-Paul's.
ReplyDeleteI'll be staying in that area for a couple of days at the end of the month.
wishing you a stunning holiday !
DeleteHallo Anni, Je hebt sport en cultuur goed weten te combineren!
ReplyDeleteGroetjes,
Frans
dank je wel Frans, het was inderdaad een beetje 'van alles wat' wat het een prefect weekend maakte behalve dan de de sport nogal passief was...
Deleteoh, I miss London. fab photos. as always :)
ReplyDeleteenjoy your side of the world now, Petra.. I would love to visit where you are ...sounds so exotic and your photos prove it every day again
DeleteHehe, goed gezien hoor Anni!
ReplyDeleteGrappig ook!
Mooie foto met de reflectie van de St.Pauls. De Modern Tate is een geweldig gebouw vond ik toen ik er was.De sjaals heb je goed gezien.
ReplyDeleteBella la foto della caffetteria! Ciao. buona giornata.
ReplyDeleteAntonella
I was at the Tate Modern just 1 month and a half ago. Do you enjoy it?
ReplyDeleteI love the last image Anni, the reflection is so beautiful. Glad you are having a great holiday. :)
ReplyDeleteThe statue with the anatomic elements is certainly big enough to understand where your liver is.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
de Hirst's expositie was zeker heel interessant.
ReplyDeleteInderdaad de reflectie's in het laatste foto zijn wonderful. Groetjes Dietmut
Een zeer mooie vierde foto met een fantastische weerspiegeling!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the museum is using all of its available space by including a narrow, yet cozy cafe. The natural light coming from above really brightens up the place.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, I like the little touch of Belgium in the scarves! Strangely enough, I haven't seen Hirst's exhibition yet. I prefer the Tate Modern in winter.
ReplyDeleteDe sjals zijn mooi!!! Simple maar toch belgisch!
