This blog I iniatially set up to show you how beautiful the world can be. The very first picture I posted was one taken in Burma (Myanmar). I can show you many more pics like that, taken in small African villages, the jungle in Thailand, the desert in Egypt or Morocco... but I won't.You see a lot of photographers boasting with this and of course most of the time the pictures look really nice. But I wonder how much of that has to do with the actual photography, and how much with the exotic subject. I think it is a lot cooler to make a beautiful picture of your own backyard than it is to travel thousands of miles to make 'great' pictures of a child that's dying of famine.
Therefore here you see yet another picture of that small country I live in: Belgium. Where the recent elections have proven once again that we are a frightened and intolerant people. Sigh, bloody right wing xenophobes... Still, nice landscape, don't you think?
(to be honest with you: I too take pictures on these exotic locations and I treasure them for their power of reminiscence but also for their photographic value.)

would like to add something other than "you're absolutely bloody right", but I can't. Too bad.
'You're bloody right' always does the trick.
Where has this one been taken? Voeren?
Jup, as you can see, when you look at the description, Zimbob called this picture: voeren2blog.jpeg.
The reasons behind this are unclear.
just a reminder because it's my turn 'om de 2 poezen te voeren'.
I wasn't that clever though
