Photographer's Note
The Grand Place (French: Grand-Place or Grand Place, Dutch: Grote Markt) is the central market square of Brussels. It is surrounded by guild houses, the city's spectacular Town Hall and the Breadhouse (Dutch: Broodhuis, French: Maison du Roi). It is considered as one of the most beautiful squares of the world (according Victor Hugo himself). The Grand Place was named by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1998. (Wikipedia)
Evering evening during Christmas time, the Town Hall (left) is the scene of a sound and light show. It's really magic to see that!

La Grand-Place (en néerlandais Grote Markt) est la place centrale de Bruxelles. Mondialement renommée pour sa richesse ornementale, elle est bordée par les maisons des corporations, l'Hôtel de Ville et la Maison du Roi (en néerlandais Broodhuis). Elle est généralement considérée comme l'une des plus belles places du monde (selon Victor Hugo, entre autres). La Grand-Place de Bruxelles a été inscrite en 1998 sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. (Wikipedia)
Chaque soir durant la période de Noël, l'Hôtel de Ville (à gauche) est la scène d'un magnifique son et lumière. Véritablement magique!

Bonjour Catherine,
on m'avait dit que la Grand'Place était bien illuminée cette année et cette photo le prouve. J'aimerais me rendre à Bruxelles un de ces jours pour prendre quelques photos nocturnes.
Tu as bien capturé et rendu cette ambiance de fin d'année.
Bien à toi.
Daniel.

Bon jour Catherine
Excellent capture of this colorful and fairy tale like square. I was there a few years ago and I really like it, especially the sea food reasturants behind.
