The pictures from Belgium

Hi there,

Like last year, we held a mini-snapshot-competition here at our school to determine which were the best pictures we could send in to this fantastic project! You may have a look at our blog here: www.qworzofoto2012.blogspot.com

These are the Belgian Snapshot-of-Europe-2012-finalist-pictures...

We hope you may enjoy them!

people:

Merel took this picture of her little niece, Hanne.

The picture was taken at her christening.

At that time Hanne was still a real baby, but in the meantime she has already learned to walk

and Merel has to catch her every time she tries to slip away! Very funny!

places:

When Jorne visited Brussels last year he definitely wanted to stop and say hello at "Manneken Pis", one of the national symbols of Belgium. It was the first time Jorne saw "Little Man Pee" with his own eyes! There are many legends about Manneken Pis. One of the legends tells the statue has been made to honor a boy who saved the city of Brussels by peeing on the flames. Funny, isn't it? On special occasions Manneken Pis pees beer or wine in stead of water and sometimes he is dressed in a special way!

nature:

Jorne made this picture while being in the Europark in the Netherlands. Being almost feeding time, they were restfully waiting for the carers to come and feed them. Jorne thought they looked very cute side by side and he wanted to take this picture because he loves animals very much!

sports:

Daphne took this picture when going to watch a soccer game in Breda - The Netherlands which is near our village (as you can see on the location). Her whole family cheers for NAC so Daphne does too!
