Treasures in the attic



 
 Would you believe me if i told you that I took advantage of the inviting open door to sneak into Louvain's town hall? High up in the attic I discovered this treasure of a zillions statutes which must have adorned the facade at one time or other.

    What a wonderful find. If the city were smart, they would find a way to display these for the public. Great photos.

    Goh, kon je zomaar overal doorlopen met een camera nog wel? Bijzonder wat ze daar op de zolder verbergen.

    Ik ben er zeker van dat je enkele foto's hebt genomen van de gevel maar niet hebt gepubliceerd.

    Groetjes,
    Filip

      ik kom vaak in Leuven en denk altijd dat ik nog vaak de kans zal hebben om de gevel te fotograferen. zo gaat dat met dingen die 'voor de hand' liggen...

      I like your comment Janey !
      and I like the idea of the opportunity to photograph jails from the inside.
      a challenge for next year ?
      also I am kidding.

    Hello!
    Thank you for visiting my blog!
    I would have been amazed to see all those statues. I wonder why they don't get them out and display them? I think they are too nice to keep hidden away.
    Your blog is lovely. You really make me want to see Belgium.

      thanks so much
      hopefully you will make it over here, one day. in the meantime, there is always the fictional blogging world.
      trying to keep it pretty close to reality, so you can see, enjoy, reflect and judge.
