About Me

My photo
Antwerp, Belgium
Welcome to the new, and improved version of Heaven in Belgium. I am Jientje. "Jientje", like the boys name Gene, followed by "chu"? "Gene-chu", that's how you pronounce my name. Yes!!!!That's it!! So now you know huh? I am an addicted blogger. I was born and raised and am still living in Belgium. Yeah, the "this-is- Tuesday-so-this-must-be-Brussels" kind of Belgium .. There, you see? Maybe you couldn't find it on the map, but at least I'm trying to change that a little by sharing lots of pictures. I really love to cook and create new things, like this blog for instance. I am a mother,a grandmothe and a wife too! They say I'm a traveler, and a photographer. Well that's just what they say, I love to make pictures, but I am far from professional ... If my English is not perfect, that would be because it's my second language. I do hope you'll forgive me any possible misspellings or strange vocabulary ... Now, as a result of all of the above, I get way too little sleep and my days are always much too short!

Weekly Winners, Antwerp by night



Antwerp by night, an attempt at night photography ...



I wanted to make more and better shots so I returned two days later, just after sunset.
We took the elevator to the roof of the building above and took the next couple of panoramic night views of Antwerp.




From inside the building ...

Weekly Winners, Old and New, Art and Graffiti …

Last Wednesday was a gorgeous day for a city walk and I ended up exploring a neighborhood I had never been to before. My walk began at the old train station Antwerp Dam.

The neighborhood is part of a renovation project, but some of the old buildings still stand.

There will be more pictures of this art project in the days to come.

The Castle by the Pond in Sepia

I thought the castle would also be a perfect Sepia Scenes subject. Enjoy …

But no matter how pretty in sepia, I just HAD to add the full color of that one.
The light was just too pretty!

The Castle by the Pond, Part Two

 

Every step I took, every time the light changed,
… everywhere I looked was a different picture.

The beautiful light of the “golden hour” made it look like Fall instead of Winter.

There was nobody around but us.

The whole place breathed peacefulness.

Look at that light …

I mean LOOK at that? Beautiful isn’t it?

Now turn around one more time…

I hope you enjoyed the walk with me. There will be a couple more tomorrow, can you believe this? I don’t think I’ve ever made so many photos from one and the same place ever!
