Way to Work – Through the South of Zeeland

Since I’m at the moment for a week in Zeeland, the south of Holland I’m going to work by car and it takes me on other ways.

Of course this is always great and I wanted to show a few details from this way and I hope you guys are enjoying it.

A large part of my route is now alongside a Canal, the Sas van Ghent canal. This canal is going from the Westerschelde sea towards Ghent, the city in Belgium.

Alongside this canal you’ll see for about 75% factories, heavy industries and transport boats. But the other 25% makes the trip actually quite worth it, specially on a beautiful day in the summer. Normally I pass by quite early in the morning so you the nature is still waking up and the air is fresh.

Expect in the near future more photos from this route and enjoy these photographs to start with

Luxembourg, the city…

Where is the city located and why should you go there?

Luxembourg always have been more known for their banking system then the tourism sector. Still if you go to Luxembourg everyone is asking you: Can you take some money with you for me? or Are you earning that much money?

But look at Luxembourg beyond that.. Look at the buildings left by the Romans and still standing. Look at the vast Green parks with stunning views over the Valley’s.
Then you know you got in the right corner for a holiday, a quite holiday.

The People

Furthermore the people are very friendly and very service minded. For us the moment we arrived we have had excellent service, from the moment we got off the train until the moment we hopped on.

It was only a pity that the weather was really not up to par with other days before and after our weekend. It was very cloudy and grey, with just a few ray’s off sunshine in the Saturday Afternoon..

Luxembourg Photography

But I did take the opportunity to take many landscape photographs with the intention of converting them later into beautiful panoramic photos.

So what is the point of these blog post series? It’s basically a story about the various parts of the city, both modern and historic, landscape views and urban details.

Please let me guide you through one of the most forgotten pearls from Western Europe, Luxembourg.
