cheers.. i was in antwerpen about amonth ago. Got up early ( had to be out of this cheap hotel after breakfast), somewhere downtown near the central station, in the orthodox jewish diamond district (could've got some good photos of those dudes going about their day, but i bottled out (i dunno - seemed a bit intrusive). anyway.. so yeah saw this hoarding (building-site or something like that) and it turned me on. ;)

Antwerpen is a nice city, friendly bars (vlaamse gezellig), good shops, pretty girls and beer, great buildings.

outstanding. Stellar photo. You should print it and frame it. Or better yet, have it printed on canvas HUGE and hang it up!
