Today's post is going to be primarily pictures I took while in Belgium. The city captured my heart immediately, with its striking rock formations, ancient history, homage to icons, and quirky sense of humor. Follow me on a brief photgraphic tour of one night in Belgium.
To begin, the above picture is taken in the Northern city of Dinant, home of the Dinant Cathedral. The river in this part is expansive and provides a perfect mirror of the smattering of homes and castles along the shore.
Here you can see the ruins of an old tower, half-hidden in the brush on the mountainside. Belgium boasts more castles per capita than any other European city, according to one local we spoke with.
This awe-inspiring rock formation greets visitors as they enter the city of Dinant. It can be a little nerve wracking to drive between these massive slabs of stone, but its safe as can be.
Moving further into the city and closer to nightfall, the country's pride in their history can be seen. The saxophone was invented by Adolphe Sax, a Belgium native.
Next we see the Dinant Cathedral, a huge building build right into the side of a mountain. Towering above, you can see the Dinant Fortress, the site of a massacre not that many years ago. A future post will share my experience there, along with the 1,000 steps to get to the top of the mountain.
A finally, Belgium's unique sense of humor. Don't even think of letting your dog do his business here...you'll be on video if you do!
Thanks for stopping by! Join me in my next post to learn a little more about the places and culture which make Belgium so unique. In the meantime, find me at Travel Life Services to book your own unique adventure.
