    Today I am going to take you across the language frontier that divides the Southern Netherlands (a.k.a "Belgium" ) in Dutch-speaking Flanders and French (or Walloon) speaking Wallonia:

    The Château de Belœil (Belœil Castle) in the province of Hainault (Dutch: Henegouwen):



    The old city hall of Mons (Dutch: Bergen) - the capital of Hainault:



    Mons: the Spanish House and the belfry:



    Looking towards the church in Enghien (Dutch: Ingen/ Edingen):

    Polderland along the river Yser (IJzer) near Diksmuide.


    The Menin Gate or Menenpoort in Ypres (Ieper). Build as a memorial by the British who lost some 54.900 men defending the town from the Germans during the First World War.


    Every night buglers from the local fire brigade still play the Last Post in order to commemorate those that lost their lifes.


    Another local tradition is the socalled Cat Parade or Kattenstoet. It is a festival that is devoted to the cat. It is held every third year on the second Sunday of May. Most recently, the 42nd edition took place on May 10, 2009.
    The parade commemorates an Ypres tradition from the Middle Ages in which cats were thrown from the belfry tower of the Cloth Hall to the town square below.


    Parade during the Kattenstoet.


    Along the Dyk in Dunkirk (Duinkerke) - now in France.


    Dunes and the beach in the area around De Haan.


    Panoramic view of the Koninklijke Gaanderijen and the Thermae Palace Hotel in Ostend (Oostende).




    Dunes along Ter Yde.


    Shrimpers on horseback.

    Flooded polder land along the Yser river, in Beveren-aan-de-IJzer. Taken late on a winter afternoon.



    The little village of Haringe and the Sint-Martinus Church.



    Veurle's old town hall.



    Along the beach at Koksijde.



    Just along the way - close to the village of Ramskapelle.


    The Coast Tram (Dutch: De Kusttram) is a public transport service connecting the cities and towns along the entire Flemish coast running from De Panne to Knokke-Heist. This picture was taken between Ostend and Middelkerke.


    De Dijk, the boulevard of Knokke-Heist on a beautiful day.



    Villa's in Duinbergen (Knokke-Heist municipality).


    Het Zwin, a nature reserve that now marks the Inner-Dutch border. A frontier that should be consigned to the dustbin of history at the earliest possible opportunity.

    Thumbs up Belgium, the movie

    [YOUTUBE]VJVd6qp7Fqg[/YOUTUBE]

    Belgium, the movie

    "Belgium, the movie" is the first film in HD about Belgium. It shows the most important and most beautiful places of my country. The stability of the images is amazing and the shots, which were taken over a period of 8 months, are filmed in the best circumstances. We take the viewer for a journey through time. This film has been filmed entirely from a helicopter with a High-Definition (HD) Cineflex camera.

    I've long been of the view that Belgium is underrated as a tourist destination, but in reality it has a lot to offer.
    The countryside reminds me a lot of England - Flanders is a bit like the east of England whilst Wallonia reminds me of some of the unspoilt areas in the Midlands.
