The Battle of Waterloo was fought on Sunday, 18 June 1815, near Waterloo in Belgium.

The battle marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars.

Située à vingt kilomètres environ au sud de Bruxelles, cette commune à caractère résidentiel et commercial, bien que densément peuplée depuis la fin des années 1980, reste très verdoyante grâce à ses nombreux espaces verts dont quelques dizaines d'hectares de la forêt de Soignes (domaine d'Argenteuil), le poumon vert de la région bruxelloise.
Au centre de la localité, le quartier général du duc de Wellington qui fait face à l'église Saint-Joseph et à sa chapelle royale, abrite aujourd'hui le Musée Wellington8 qui retrace l'histoire de sa fameuse bataille du 18 juin 1815 qui a opposé Napoléon Ier à une coalition européenne conduite par l'Angleterre. Face au Musée Wellington, on peut également visiter un Musée d'histoire locale, situé à l'étage des bureaux de Waterloo Tourisme9.

A lot of work has been done to this image. Levels adjusted overall then saturation increased in blue chanel and selected areas lightened or darkened. I more or less followed Neil Kovens instructions except that I chose a selection tool rather than the suggested brush.
Waterloo Village is now the remains of a formerly prosperous port on the Morris Canal in the mid 1800's. It was once restored to it's glory days by The Waterloo Foundation for the Arts. Through lack of funding and misguided uses of the village it is now a shamble of deteriorating buildings. Hopefully there will be a rebirth of interest in this historic and important part of history in the Northwestern pat of New Jersey. Photo by Mary 9-2013
