It certainly wasn’t the first time that I visited this event to make pictures: De Quaeye Werelt. Each time it is a nice spectacle, with nicely dressed participants. This year I also spend some time in the camp, where you can see a lot of work by real craftsman. Eddy
What’s the difference between weed and flowers? Only just an opinion, the way you look at them. And with the right eye, weed can be pretty as well… Eddy
The next stop during Heritage Day was a jeweler, Pascale Masselis. Her shop has a unique interior (both as such and the story behind it), beautiful creations and there was a nice demonstration. Eddy

The fields with tulips are becoming more and more a tourist attraction. These pictures were taken in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, in the neighborhood of Hulst. But apparently I was rather late, on many of the fields the tulips were already picked. Eddy

But there are also other places, like e.g. the ‘Rivierenhof’, the large park just around my corner. And the advantage of the Rivierenhof is that… Read more »
The lion, the lioness, they are beautiful animals. But not always as easy as a photo model. I remember the story in the newspaper, a few years ago, by the photographer of the Zoo of Antwerp.
