Just got my new camera, an Olympus E420, and I decided to try it out last weekend. The weather was fine, so I went for it. It was so long ago that I worked with a reflex camera, still an analogue one, and this one has so many more possibilities and features. So don't look to much at the quality. Leuven, my home town

The Town Hall of Leuven, Belgium, is a landmark building on that city's Grote Markt (Main Market) square, across from the monumental St. Peter's Church. Built in a Brabantine Late Gothic style between 1448 and 1469, it is famous for its ornate architecture, crafted in lace-like detail.

  detail of the Town Hall  Lakenhalle (Cloth Hall) built in 1317-1345  The market on Friday (it's strawbery season)  Sint-Gertrudiskerk

An old abbey church of the

Augustines- Magnificent wooden stalls- late Gothic tower without any nails.  Grand Béguinage Leuven originated in the early 13th century.  And after a (long) trip through the city stay at a nice and quiet spot and drinking a good cup of coffee  Some flowers in my garden  Thanks for watching.
