I am drawn to the colors and shapes and patterns in this image of the roof of the Brussels City Hall, one of the iconic buildings of the central square of this beautiful city.
I am back in Brussels for a brief business trip and have not yet had a chance to shoot any new photos. I took this shot last year in mid-January, when the city was covered with a light coating of snow. This year, it looks like it’s a bit warmed and I was shocked to see some sunshine yesterday, the day of our arrival. In my experience, the skies are usually gray and cloud-covered and it is unusual to see the sun at this time of the year.
I hope to have some new photos of Brussels soon, work permitting, which you should be seeing for the next few days.

If you get a chance stop by the car museum, after the fries and beer of course!
Judging by various blogs I read, that part of the world appears to be having a mild winter.
Beautiful. Eat some chocolate for me.
Brussels is one city I’d like to visit, Belgium in general is a fascinating country rich in military history from Napoleons defeat at Waterloo to all the WW1 and WW2 sites, too much for me to hope for. Great shot..:-)
Powdered sugar on a gingerbread house! This is on the edge of the Grand Place, right? I’ve found myself in Brussels many times during my working career and always managed to find my way here to gape at the magnificence.
You know the area pretty well, Gary, for this roof is indeed on the edge of the Grand Place. The hotel in which I am staying is not far from that square and I love walking through that historic area, especially at night.
The snow does look sprinkled on. Lovely! ~SueBee
It really does look like powdered sugar, doesn’t it? Thanks.
