Pictures of Antwerp
Well I got to Antwerp in the end. Not much to do with aeroplanes, but this is E&Ss, so...
Can highly recommend this city... and the chocolate. And that's coming from someone who lives in Switzerland
How I should have got there (still waiting to see if I can get a refund, either from the credit card company or the liquidators of VLM):
How I actually got [to Brussels]:
Galleria department store
Grote Markt
Cathedral
"Elfde Gebod" (Eleventh Commandment)
Groen Plaats
Grote Markt
Stadhuis (Town Hall) one of many places under renovation
Grote Markt
Antwerpen Centraal Station

David Teniers statue
Groen Plaats, statue of Rubens and the Cathedral
I think this is a Stampe (inset "full size")
View from the roof of the Red Star Line Museum
Museum aan de Stroom
Cathedral
The Elevation of the Cross by Peter Paul Rubens
Rubenshuis
Climbing out of BRU on the return journey (Swiss A319)

Re: Pictures of Antwerp
Great pics as usual Toby. My personal favourite is number 8, the contre jour shot of the people at the outdoor tables. In fact I took a couple myself today on a beautiful autumn day in Edinburgh. EricT
Now at the age where I know I like girls but can't remember why!
Re: Pictures of Antwerp
Stunning photos, Toby! Thank you so much for sharing them with us.

Re: Pictures of Antwerp
Thanks for the comments guys - Eric, do you upload yours anywhere? I've never been to Edinburgh, would be interesting to see.
Re: Pictures of Antwerp
Thanks for the tour of the city, Toby. It's a beautiful place.
Re: Pictures of Antwerp
Toby I used to upload photos to Photobucket but stopped when they wanted to start charging linking to sites such as this. My avatar disappeared for a while but reappeared some time later. Maybe they’ve changed their policy but I haven’t really checked. EricT

Re: Pictures of Antwerp
They have changed their policy. I can now see my old Photobucket pics on this forum.

Re: Pictures of Antwerp
Beautiful place, making me yearn for architecture with some permanence & history. Something in short supply here.

Re: Pictures of Antwerp
Thanks Toby!
Sorry that you had ticket problems.
Fortunately I've had no such problems. Unfortunately that's because I haven't been anywhere.
Yes, that architecture is really something!
We've been watching documentaries about ancient Italy. They used some fancy rock and concrete - penetrating 3D scanner. The Romans had concrete that could set under water.
The underground aquaducts and buried buildings are astonishing. Some of it was BC! Last night was focused on Venice, some of the construction dating from 1300s IIRC. What they achieved without today's construction cranes was truly impressive.
That's a very ominous looking sky in pic 20!
