We took a walking tour of Brussels yesterday as part of ESUG. It was a nice tour - my wife shot a few pictures while we walked, and I thought I'd post a few of them. The area around Grand Place in Brussels is just beautiful - have a look at this view from the courtyard:
Here's another shot of the same place, different part - we would have more, but a huge stage set up in the middle for a festival blocked some site lines:
Next, there's a marvelous covered street near Grand Place. It's about 8.5 meters wide, and covered with a glass ceiling - shops on the ground floors, apartments above. They sounded small (about 100 sq meters in general), but it would be a fun place to live, I'm sure:
Here's another view, near the end of that street - look at the artwork:
Last, a nice fountain in a courtyard - there were matching fountains, this is a shot of one. It's in a nice little courtyard, small and cozy:
