on a journey
back
in time.
Life is good here,
peaceful.
Authentic.
Every little detail ...
A scarecrow in the garden,
now doesn't that make you smile?
Every little detail....
Like I said ...
every detail is old and authentic.
All the pictures were taken last Sunday at Bokrijk Museum Park, one of my favourite places for a photo walk.

Welcome to the brand spanking new Summer Stock Sunday. Each week, beginning at midnight Saturday night Israel time, 5pm EST, we'll be sharing our quintessential summertime photos. So what says summer to you? Is it the pool? The beach? A backyard barbecue? A comfy old pair of flip-flops? Whatever summertime looks like in your corner of the world this is the place to come share it - put up your post and then come add your link to Mr. Linky. Visiting other participants is encouraged, after all, sharing is what blogging is all about.
This meme is kicking off today at Robin's Around the Island.
That's why I'm submitting these bonus pictures.
Visiting Bokrijk Park is most certainly something fun to do on a Summer Sunday ...

What a wonderful place. I love visiting historic recreations. They really make history come alive, and they've always got such great photo ops too.
(By the way, Summer Stock Sunday kicks off today :-).)
My Belgian Bombshell this is wonderful. I love the picnic table the best I must say. The cow and the old man are good runners up. Great Weekly Winners...I love it. :) Aloha my friend
I love the two new photos you've added, especially that second one. You've captured such a sense of movement and purpose. Thanks so much for joining Summer Stock Sunday.
Oj I love these photos! I do have to say though, I think that scarecrow is missing a bit more than just his brain!
I could while away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers,
Consultin' with the rain.
All the thoughts that I'd be thinkin'
I could be another Lincoln,
If I only had a brain.
My husband loves visiting these old fashioned places. You bring out the charm with your lovely photos.
The Museum Park is wonderful, so serene and beautiful. The shutter photo is my favorite.
Your photos are so beautiful that they inspire me! I've never seen an "old fashioned bee hive."
Where's my camera--I have to go try to get "artsy" with my photos!
Oh Jientje! These are wOnderful! I always thought BEES made old fashioned bee hives ... but now I know different! I love the shot of him working on it -- and also the woman going back in the house... these are just great!
Fantastic photos!!! Love them all! That beehive looks interesting - would love to see the finished product - like the capture of movement.
Love that first shot. It's neat how they do towns like that.
the photo of the hand is so beautiful!
touching and strong
Thank you so much. You made me miss my grandma's village. The other day I was talking to my husband - I wish to retire in the old house there and grow chicken and tomatoes.
These are some simply stunning photos! I love every one of them!
All....all of them, beautiful. I like when you stated everything is authentic. Just picture perfect.
Great pictures. You really captured the place and time. I would love to live "in the olden days" if i wouldn't miss a warm bath.
Your blog is like being in Heaven. The pictures bring me such peace and they are truly so beautiful.
Thank you for the journey.
Love Melissa
I'm sold!
Wow, very cool! I love the wall with the shutter, and the close-up of the chain. Great colors!
These are just glorious! What a wonderful place to shoot photos, and you captured some lovely scenes. Nice work!
Hello Jeintje, you blog is gorgeous and photographs stunning, we have been to Brussels, Brugge and Antwerp and loved every minute of it, your photos took me back again, happy Monday, Kathy.
@ Robin: Oops!! I forgot! Hang in there, be right back!

@ Avril: Yes, that one came out great, I agree.
@ Smoochiefrogs: well, this "town" is very unique, at least I think so!
@ Dianne: One of my favourites too!

@ Thorne: Thanks!
@ Hootin' Anni: The authenticity even in the slightest little detail is what I like about this place so much!
