Looking over Brussels

January 16, 2014 by Mike Powell

I really like the different types and colors of light in this shot of a portion of Brussel’s nightime skyline, taken from an overlook near the city’s Central Train Station.

You have really effectively used the lightening to produce a very interesting and engaging photo.

  Thanks, Charlie. I definitely agree that it is the lighting that gives this photo much of its interest (though the old buildings of Brussels are beautiful in almost any light).

That really is an incredible spire, isn’t it? I’ve admired it many a time, and your contrasting it with the far-simpler one on the church is very effective. Must love Brussels!

  The last couple of years I have managed to make at least a few trips to Brussels and I always make a point of visiting the Grand Place each time to marvel at the amazing architecture and the cobblestone square itself.
