The Grand-Place in Brussels, the central square of the city, is a wonderful location, full of ornate buildings and teeming with people at almost all hours of the day. UNESCO considers it a World Heritage Site and it was voted the most beautiful square in Europe in one survey, according to Wikipedia.
I find the buildings in the Grand-Place, though, to be a little too ornate and overly decorated. As I stood in the center of the square and looked diagonally toward one of the side streets, though, I caught a glimpse of this building. It is simple and elegant and much more to my taste.

You said you were “out of town”… that means, you know, on a road trip for business to a nearby city… perhaps maybe even in a neighbouring state or province. Are you in Belgium? That is MORE than “out of town”, that is more like “out of continent”. If you ARE, then I expect to see many more pictures!!!
I’m going out this evening and will try to get a few shots that I can share (and yes I am in Brussels).
Are you in Brussel? Are you coming to Amsterdam too?? 🙂
Yes, I am in Brussels. Alas, I am returning straight home from here in just a few days.
Too bad! Brussels is nice but A’dam is nicer!! 😉 Anyway, enjoy your stay there!
