This image was taken some time ago at the 'Grand Place' of Brussels, Belgium. Nowadays the atmosphere there isn't that cozy anymore because of the terrorist threat.

Referring to the narrative of this one, it's my weekly entry for the Wednesday B&W challenge.

I have been here and your photo effectively captures the feel of the plaza. What strikes me is the clarity you've captured on the multitude of people's faces. It's as if they stand out more predominately than their bodies. I like it, Cornelius.

Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")

This is the land where my family is from a few generation ago. I could say much about the comment about the terrorist threats that plague much of Europe, too bad they did take a stand awhile back.

Beautiful imagery my friend. It is a shame that this beautiful place is overshadowed by terrorism.

Cornelius - The details are amazing in this well-composed image. A very fine b/w challenge entry.
Atop the dome in the cent rod the image is a statue with a white area above. Is that something related to the statue?

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
