Walking through the old streets of Bruges, Belgium, avoiding the horses and the clamor of the noisy tourists and old people who have to yell to understand each other, I stumbled upon this courtyard inside of an old convent. The moment that you enter this place, everything goes quiet and you feel as though you are in another world – a better world; a more peaceful and loving world.

It is hard to describe how peaceful and tranquil this place makes you feel; it was like a little piece of heaven in the middle of a busy city.

Late but still here 🙂

This photo is of a bombed-out church that I explored while I was in Bosnia. It’s on top of a giant hill/mountain and from there you could also see old fortifications on the top of each neighboring mountain/giant hill.

This is recent history and we should never forget just how easy it is for seemingly calm and civil nations to devolve into war (think of Ukraine today).

This is from a meat market in San Sebastian, Spain.  The owner of this butcher stall saw me making a video and motioned for me to wait for a minute before he brought this cow? head out from the back.  I could not believe my eyes – wow.

I presume someone actually buys this sort of thing for a lovely satanic dinner party or just baby food Spain style.

God I love Spain! 🙂

This photo is from the Korenmarkt in Ghent, Belgium. This city really surprised me with its beauty and with the fact that most of the people in the city were actually Belgian, which is not the case for Brussels or Antwerp.

This city is the perfect mix of beautiful architecture, old-world feel, and modern young happening city. I liked this city more than Bruges in terms of feel and architecture and, if you are going through Belgium, this city is a must, even if only for a day trip.

You must go here!
