Images representing countries

[fabphoto]

Hi

I am looking for an image representing Belgium.
It could be a symbol, a monument, famous food, anything really.

I was first thinking of belgium chocolate but I can't find a picture that I like.

Any idea?

Thanks

Manekin pis? Medieval towns, 1st world war graves, Magritte, chocolate, frites and mayonnaise, strong Belgium beer and a population that speaks many languages.

I though Belgium was famous for beer.

I spent a few days in Ghent earlier in 2016. Not sure if any of the pics shout "Belgium" but have a look http://photodiva.zenfolio.com/p949573044

The saxophone was invented by a Belgian, but, oddly, not many people seem to know that.

^^ The only Belgian that anyone has really heard of apart from Eddie Merx and Poirot!

Where was Tintin during your childhood?

In Tibet.

And René Magritte

Whilst they might recognise his artwork or representations of it (a la Thomas Crown), I suspect that more people will have heard of Jules Maigret then him!

But Maigret ain't real...


...or Belgian.

Good set (although say dated June 2015 - how time flies)
We went in July this year, when the music festival was on. Not the best time to drive to a hotel in the centre as they close all the roads after 2pm.

We went to Ypres last year, which of course has the Menin Gate and daily remembrance ceremonies.

Ronde Van Vlaanderen?

That was my point.

That was my point.

You say that now...

Not my fault that you weren't quick enough on the uptake.
