The Grote Markt, or big market, in Bruges (or Brugges), Belgium looks much as it has for the last century. Now however, the hustle and bustle is primarily tourist driven. The brightly coloured restaurants and pubs make it an inviting place to relax over a Belgian Beer.

HANTWERPEN, the legend / Right up and into the 17th Century Antwerp was often spelt as ‘Hantwerpen’. Hardly surprising really, because according to an old legend this was the way it should be. Legend has it that at the beginning of time the bend in the River Scheldt was in hands of the giant Antigoon, who demanded a heavy toll from each passing shipmaster. Those who refused to pay had a hand chopped off. A Roman soldier, Silvius Brabo, brought an end to this awful practice, by slaying the giant, chopping off his hand and throwing it into the river. Hence ‘Hantwerpen’ or ‘hand throwing’. The H disappeared over time, but ‘Antwerpen’ stuck. So much for the legend. In reality the name Antwerpen probably derives from the word ‘aanwerp’, an alluvial mound in the River Schelt, at the height of the Steen, which was the site of an early settlement. Towards the end of the 19th Century this alluvial mound disappeared when the quays of the River Scheldt were straightened. Though the story of Brabo is complete fiction, the ‘Sinjoren’ nevertheless still pay tribute to their legendary liberator on the Grote Markt (the square in front of the town hall). The bronze fountain (1887) was created by Antwerp sculptor Jef Lambeaux / /

“One of the most beautiful town squares in Europe, if not in the world”, is a phrase often heard when visitors to Brussels try to describe the beauty of the central market square. I was composing a long exposure shot, when two people walked into the frame delibrately, looked at me and started kissing.. Since I didn’t have an exciting foreground to begin with, I didn’t mind the intrusion.

“One of the most beautiful town squares in Europe, if not in the world”, is a phrase often heard when visitors in Brussels try to describe the beauty of the central market square. French-speakers refer to it as the ‘Grand-Place’, whereas in Dutch it is called ‘de grote Markt’. The tourists of the 20th century are not alone in their admiration . Archduchess Isabella, daughter of Filip II of Spain wrote about the square during her visit to Brussels on September the 5th 1599: ” Never have I seen something so beautiful and exquisite as the town square of the city where the town hall rises up into the sky. The decoration of the houses is most remarkable ”.

This is the street where the statue Mannenken Pis is located in Brussels. I expected to see a big statue. But when i got there it seemed to be really small.
