Hello all:

here's another thread from my recent Low Countries trip - detailing the unique city of Leuven (or Louvain), capital of Flemish Brabant in Belgium.

Lots more, including more near the Beguinage, and from the city centre itself

Mahratta · September 30th, 2009, 12:50 AM

How many of those 3,390 posts were "good photos", I wonder?

***christos-greece*** · September 30th, 2009, 06:11 PM

Those cathedrals looking great, thanks for the photos @Mahratta

Oh, there's a lot more coming. I've just been bogged down by midterms. Not even the middle of the bloody term...

Leuven is the second biggest student city in the country which means that it the streets are very, very crowded during the academical year but during the summer it is very quiet.

It is a nice little charming town though.

What do you do with those pictures that make the buildings look so neglected? It sure looks better IRL.

Filandon · October 29th, 2009, 05:06 PM

Looks very nice to me...not neglected at all, and somehow I like the contrast of the photos. Thanks for posting
