Again, welcome, dear neighbour. Wink
I live in northern France, by the channel, and my elder daughter has been studying photography in Tournai these 2 last years.
One of my sisters in law is also belgian, from Saint-Niklaas near Antwerpen. Smile
My daughter also have lomo and polaroids.

You have a nice collection.


The coast in Northern France is beautiful for photographers, do you go there often? I would love to visit the part between cap blanc nez and ambleteuse. However I have heard that recently they have removed 'les blockhaus' in Wissant from the second world war. I would have loved to photograph those.

I am actually starting my photography studies in september. Looking forward to that. It will be 5 years. I hope to learn a lot more than what I already know Very Happy

I live near Boulogne sur Mer and goes to the beach between Wimereux and Wissant including Ambleteuse, Audresselles.
This is a beautiful land.
You are right, the blockhaus have been removed I regret it because it was part of our history. I used to go into them when I was a child.
I have nice photos of the last ones. I'll upload them.

If you wish to visit us, please let me know. One of my brothers in law has a nice little "gîte" to rent.

Wher will you study photography ?
There's a good school in Brussels, named "le septante-cinq" (le 75).

I do not know that school in Brussels, however I will assume that the courses will be tought in French.
Even though I work in Brussels, my French is still a wee bit wobbly. Though I am working on that. I am hoping to speak it fluently within a year or 2.

I will attend L'Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts d'Anvers. One of Europe's oldest academies where a lot of famous artists have studied Smile

Can't wait to see your pictures of the blockhaus!

Now that the obvious is out of the way...

That's the most recent one of me.
It took a bit of doing getting to this thread- it's actually sort of buried in here.

I suppose I'll find a "Tell Us About Yourself" thread in here somewhere eventually.

Edit:
No one's done this since 2014??? Shocked

Not sure how to take that Wink

Does this mean I will be long term here???
Or does this have something to do with senior's discounts Mr. Green
I've been getting seniors discount on my coffee since I was 55.
