Oeren

 A wonderful afternoon flying the SMAC kite in +25km/h wind. 


The late Gothic church of St. Apollonia un Oeren. Surrounding the church is a World War I military cemetery. I discovered that the 4th 'Ijzerbedevaart' pelgrimage took place at this church.

Folon

Almost every year, there is a small, family oriented kite festival in the solvay park Lahulpe. Of course that's THE moment to take some nice shots of my kites

Kasteel van Nieuwerkerken (Kasteel NIeuwenhoven)

Today, I went to Nieuwerkerken to take some pictures with my kite. The wind was bouncing from 0 to 10 back to 0...So, I didn't trust to put more in the air than just a GoPro. Still enjoyed the scenery.



Pont "romain" de Montignies-Saint-Christophe


 


In Montignies-Saint-Christophe, there is a so-called "Roman" bridge. Originally it was a dam in the river Hantes that was later converted into a bridge. THE bridge is thought to date from the late Middle Ages.  It is a limestone structure with thirteen arches.
