Jessie and I went out wandering and found this old room in the city, even the ceiling has a beautiful painting on it.
Gert asked me where it is, I had no real idea. It's one that I always find by accident.
So there I was, wondering what it might have been when the camera clicked and she had me ... a photograph of that rarely captured breed known as the photographer ;)
I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.
And the room was open? With nobody inside? Nor a name tag or price tag?
ReplyDeleteI really wonder how big Antwerp is, since you discover new place everyday that no one knows about.
LOL Di, you never cease to amaze me :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, I have been wondering too where exactly in Antwerp(en) it could have been taken.
If you post more details I may be able to locate the building (I need a street, a monument, anything that may give me a clue)
[smiling] Did you have absolutely no idea where you actually were when you took this shot? :-))
The room was open, it's part of a complex that has an information notice outside it, and an information/gift shop attached. There are people working in offices there too ... hmmm, I posted about it before I think.
ReplyDeleteI've been there before but always find it by accident Manic.
Peter, I had to smile but yes, I really don't know precisely where it is ... but we were on our way to Via Via Cafe and we may have detoured - it's in that vicinity but I can't remember why we detoured. I realised when Gert asked me where it was, I started talking and had no idea.
Going to search my blog, I think I've posted on it before ...
I never know how to find my way back to the places I've been.
ReplyDeleteThis is why we're "women wandering."
Lol yes v-grrrl ... and really we're lost. Rome is the only place I did okay in but I think it was because I was mostly alone and not being too lost was imperative.
ReplyDeleteMy first apartment in Istanbul for everyone to find, me included for that first couple of months.
