Hergé museum in Louvain-la-Neuve

 

"Wonderful Hergé museum in Louvain La Neuve outside Brussels. Building is architecturally very interesting and attractive, collection beautifully displayed, and learned a lot about the creator. A must see".

Thank you Bonnie for sharing your impression of your Tintin visit with TiB 

Edgard Tytgat in Schiedam, the Netherlands

 I have asked for contributions in my previous post and here is the first one about the exhibition dedicated to Tytgat in Schiedam. Looking forward to getting more Belgium related posts and pictures from you, readers. 

Belgium's hot summer

A good friend complained to me yesterday. She expressed her disapproval: “Why are you not posting anymore? Why do I still see that little man?” She was referring to my last entry posted on the occasion of the soccer World Cup? We were enjoying a girls’ luncheon and soon enough another one joined the complaint: “I used to like your photo's. They were cool.” She lives abroad, and I assume that this little touch of whatever Belgium does something for her in one way or other.  A third one suggested that I look at the blog as if it offers an exposition opportunity.

My answer: what's the point?  I do not have that much ‘free’ time on my hands, I do not take pictures like I used to anymore, I never carry my heavy camera around these days. My photographic activity is limited to point and shoot, mostly using my telephone (while driving .. shhh .. I mean, while parked at the red light  or stuck in traffic jams, there are many of those in Brussels). 

Ok, so here we go again ....Here's to Chris, Vera, Myriam! 
I hope the visitors of this blog can live with telephone quality pictures. 

Better still,  send me your photo's or messages or whatever you have that connects you to Belgium, and I will gladly lend this forum to you.

Above, what a summer we had or are having! I am thoroughly enjoying and hope you are too!
