Snow in Brussels















The Belgians are extremely serious about their decorative arts. A snowstorm was no inducement to call off the out-door antique market here at the Place du Grand-Sablon in Bruxelles.

















A tram headed toward the Palais de Justice de Bruxelles.
















The last vestige of the late-medieval city wall that once surrounded Brussels, the Porte de Hal (Hallepoort in Dutch). It's now a museum of royal Belgian history.  A bizarre highlight within? The oldest stuffed horse in the world. It belonged to Archduke Albert of Austria, and dates from 1598.
