This capture is taken at the Vrijdagmarkt in Ghent, Belgium. It's a common use that every Friday morning the square is filled with market stalls. This tradition dates back to 1199. This image is taken on a Saturday afternoon however, but one can see that there are still market stalls here.

On a prominent place on this Vrijdagmarkt the statue of Jacob van Artevelde, also known as The Wise Man and the Brewer of Ghent is situated.

Very good details here, Cornelius! It looks like the prominent point of interest is the statue. He towers to the sky.

What happens in Belgium when you ask a guy in period clothing the direction to the nearest Subway.

Maybe.

The answer to 'Nik' his forwarded question above: "There is currently no Subway traffic possible because there aren't enough horses to pull the Subway carriages." (😁) !

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
