Today was a rather extraordinary day, as days go ...
We left the apartment at 9am, returning 12 hours later. But it was so good to get back to West Flanders and to catch up with some of my favourite Flemish menfolk out there.
There are so many stories to tell and some photographs I'm truly delighted with but it turned out to be much more than a luncheon today. Gert and I were invited onboard the small bus to travel and take photographs with the 6 VIPs.
It was a long day ... a good day actually, but now it's time to lie on the couch.
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.
Can't wait to see the other shots! I love this little guy warming his cold nose in Flanders Field.....
ReplyDeleteLol, menfolk :d
ReplyDeleteSpent hours at my computer; eyes scanning the screen for the secret message behind this shot only to realize there wasn't one.
ReplyDeleteMust have looked like an ass to tell the truth :)
Well- I tried to make you smile :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photo - looking forward to seeing more photos and hearing more about your adventure! xo
ReplyDeleteIt's a terrific picture (but what IS this creature?). Can't wait to see and hear more about your day!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting there Lydia but running about like a crazy woman. I had a family day in search of a good beach today (Sunday) and I have a possible exhibition that needs a photographer's CV really and my new website is being loaded and and and ... :)
ReplyDeleteMenfolk ... yes, lovely Flemish menfolk, Manic :)
Ho ho ho, Mark. It worked, I was just running.
I'm getting there Tara xo
The creature, RD, is a baby donkey I couldn't resist photographing out on Flanders Fields.
