  • Large gentleman sitting outside a Belgian Waffle kiosk on 26th June 2020 in London, United Kingdom. In North America, Belgian waffles are a variety of waffle with a lighter batter, larger squares, and deeper pockets than ordinary American waffles. Belgian waffles were originally leavened with yeast, but baking powder is now often used. They are often eaten as a breakfast food or as a dessert. These waffles are seen as a fat and sugar filled food which eaten in excess is not good for overall health.

  • Members of a Belgian Boy Scout troupe write on paper during a daytrip to Brussels, while one separately looks elsewhere. As his four mates write on a sheet of paper, perhaps comparing notes on a city quiz that helps them earn Scout points, the other boy on his own looks away with disinterest, apparently showing a disregard for the other members of his group. The boys are by blackened walls near the Grand Place in central Brussels, Belgium. This is Brussels’ main city square, the focal point for colourful events throughout the year. Its Dutch-styled gabled guildhalls date from the 13th century and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

  • The image of the artwork called Big Bird by the Belgian artist Roa is seen on the side of a Balti restaurant in Hanbury Street, off Brick Lane, East London. Painted in 8 hours on the Victorian brick, the work has become a known landmark on this and surrounding streets where little known artists as well as Roa and Banksy have adorned walls and doorways. ROA (born c. 1975) is the pseudonym of an anonymous graffiti artist from Ghent, Belgium who has created works on the streets of cities across Europe and the United States. ROA generally paints wild animals (such as rats) or birds (such as crows) in black and white. In 2010 ROA came to particular notice in the UK when Hackney council threatened to paint over one of his paintings, a 3.5m high rabbit.

  • As a boy swings from a tree, canoeists enjoy a day's paddling down the River Lesse, Belgium's prime kayaking destination  in the southern Ardennes region. At Anseremme, south of the town of Dinant, the adventurers negotiate their way down 21 km of gentle fresh water through the beautiful Belgian gorges and forests. Before plunging down a weir (Barrage in French) near a camp site they are pelted by splashing water from campers in the water. The red canoes have been hired for the day from 'Kayaks Ansiaux' and another rival company who rent blue boats. Families and young people make the slow journey along the Lesse, Paddles match the colours of the canoes and they all glint off a strong afternoon sun during the high-season holiday month. Most commonly routes start in Han and go all the way down to Dinant, where the Lesse meets the Meuse.

As the new head-quarters of the EU and an administrative home to the Members of European Parliament (MEPs), it is a contemporary architectural symbol of infuence and modernity. We see the man walking towards an open atrium. The viewer can see three floors though there are many more out of sight and on two of the levels there are TV screens with the stars denoting the number of member states at that time. The interior is grid-like with warm and inviting lighting, making for a productive environment in which office workers can feel comfortable when dealing with European political business.

It was defended by about 400 British and German troops, hopelessly outnumbered by attacking French but held out until the late afternoon when they retired because their ammunition had run out. If Napoleon Bonapartes army had captured La Haye Sainte earlier in the day, almost certainly he would have broken through the allied centre and defeated the Duke of Wellingtons army.

  • A woman cycles past the gamekeepers house at the entrance of the privately-owned de Merode Castle, on 25th March, in Everberg, Belgium. The gamekeepers house lies alongside the cobbled Princes Lane Prinsendreef in Everberg and was built around 1770. The house was more familiar as the New Hostel Nieuwe herbergh. This house was rented. Art historians described it as an 18th-century house in provincial regency style. In the end of the 19th century the house became the gamekeepers house of de Merode Castle. The latter is the owner of the house as well. The gamekeepers house is known in Everberg as the previous house of Jef van Vinus or Jozef Meersman, who was the actual gamekeeper. <br />
