This is the park right next to the central station in Brussels. I went there last year to test the new lens I had received for my birthday from Iuliana. This is one of those test shots.
Iuliana is completely crazy about them. We have about ten different ones right now, of which three are in bloom and another two are about to flower as well. She's been asking me to take pictures of them for quite some time. So here it is!
On the same trip to Amsterdam with Stijn, we happened upon a pond that had this floating in it :-). Even though I had come to take pictures of the architecture in the area I couldn't pass up a nice kodak moment. I would also like to take this opportunity to tell all my disappointed viewers that I'm really sorry for not having been very regular of late, but I have been a bit busy on a side project I'm working on ;-). 
Yesterday, my good friend Stijn did me a huge favor and gave me a lift to Amsterdam. More specifically to the Bijlmer where I wanted to take pictures of the new train station that's been built there. It was a very nice trip and I'll definitely be going back to the area as there were loads of other really cool buildings to get lost among. 
On the day I took the picture of the cathedral, we went to a fairly new shop near the Grand Place which sell a huge variety of olive based products and other mediterranean goodies (herbs, pastry and pastas). I really like the way the store is decorated and thought I share my impression with you :-). By the way, the stuff they sell is really tasty so if you have a chance, hop in and have a look around.
