June 2012 - Ghent, Belgium
Ghent has the most classic looking castle I have ever seen, in addition to several churches and those beautiful Dutch houses.

| The Ghent Castle | I love the reflection in the canal | The city of Ghent, as seen from the top of the castle |

|
| The front of the castle | It has all of the elements that a proper castle should | |
|

|
| Around the city | St Baafskathedraal Ghent, next to the theater | |
|
|
|
| Inside the cathedral, although the real highlight is The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, a wonderful altar piece for which pictures are not allowed | The belfry rising above the city | |
|
|
|
| Climbing the narrow stairway to the top of the belfry | St Baafskathedraal, from the belfry | |

|
| St Niklaaskerk and the city, from the belfry | St Michielskerk Ghent | |
