Flower carpet Grand Place Brussels by Els Hattink


 I will have no choice but to promote Els Hattink to permanent TiB guest photographer. I am grateful that she sent me these pictures of the bi-annual event which takes place during the Assumption holiday weekend, the  Brussels' Flower carpet. So many pictures have been circulating on the net but these are different because they show the interest and acrobatic manoevers of the public. 
This year  Turkish patterns and 600.000 begonias commemorate the Turkish immigration to Belgium.

  5. Wow, very lovely! And lucky that the sky was overcast, because it makes the flower color so much more vibrant!
