Belgium - Brussels - Grand Place at sunset 01_DSC0612

My Website : Twitter : Facebook : Instagram : Photocrowd

One of the more ornate buildings that front onto the Grand Place in the historic heart of Brussels.

I visited two years ago for a long photo weekend as one of two trips I won after winning a photo competition for images taken during a Trey Ratcliff photowalk in London the previous Autumn. It sounds glamorous (sort of.....) but actually the prize consisted of two Flixbus return tickets to anywhere in Europe. As my wife is allergic to coach travel I chose to visit Brussels and Rotterdam. They seemed obvious choices as I wasn't keen on say spending 36hrs on a coach to say Prague.......

Busy working on a new Travel Portfolio Book I'm calling 'Around the World in 80 pages'. Whilst there's not much need for a physical portfolio these days it's always nice to see your photos in print.

If you're interested you can see mt 'work in progress' selection of photos here : www.flickr.com/photos/darrellg/albums/72157716547278846

If anyone's got some time on their hands feel free to let me know which ones I definitely should include and those you're indifferent too as I probably need to cull about half of them.......

From Wikipedia : "The Grand Place ("Grand Square"; also used in English) or Grote Markt "Grand Market") is the central square of Brussels, Belgium. It is surrounded by opulent guildhalls and two larger edifices, the city's Town Hall, and the King's House or Breadhouse (French: Maison du Roi, Dutch: Broodhuis) building containing the Brussels City Museum. The square measures 68 by 110 metres (223 by 361 ft).

The Grand Place is the most important tourist destination and most memorable landmark in Brussels. It is also considered one of the most beautiful squares in Europe, and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998."
