Bruxelles - day 2
It seems as though I go around looking for photographs of things that haven't changed, or things that look as though they could have been taken 50 years ago. This well known view of Brussels as you walk from the Royal Palace towards the Grande Place seems to me again to have remained unchanged ever since I first saw it in the 1980's. On the other hand, what should change? You descend constantly from the Royal palace by a series of steps, and this provides interesting changes of angle. I like this photo because of the contrast between the dark hedges, and the high tone of the buildings. It's a "bulls-eye" type of composition, with everything leading to the centre, but the two girls at the bottom make a nice lead-in
You can see the angle of the shot on this google map, with the gardens bottom right, and the Grand Place with the shadow of the large spire of the Town Hall top left

Otherwise (or perhaps because of that) a nice picture with all your reconised signatures. I still aspire.
Yours, kindly............
They could look even more creepy but Richard managed to leave out of the frame all the dirt and stuff of the local on-going work: fences, pile of broken wood and boxes.
