View of the centre of the Belgian town of Ypres. Actually the town is in the Flemish speaking part of Belgium and there the name is Ieper - but the French name of the town were made quite (in)famous during the First World War.
The view here includes the Cloth hall (Lakenhalle van Ieper or Les Halles aux draps d'Ypres) originally built in the 13th century and St Martin's cathedral (Sint-Maartenskathedraal or Cathédrale Saint-Martin) begun in the same century, to be finished in 1370. Both these building were more or less completely destroyed in the First World War and the buildings you see now are (very well done) copies of the originals (the cathedral built in the 1920s and the Cloth hall 1930s-60s).
The beautiful landscape with vast meadows with standard fruit trees, this time of the year with an abundance of blossoms.
MSC PSA European Terminal (MPET), the largest container terminal in the Port of Antwerp, handling more than 12.000 containers a day.
The horse in the front is a Belgian horse, a kind of draught horse. For centuries, these strong horses were used by farmers to pull carts, plough fields, etc. As most have been replaced by tractors, their number has dwindled dramatically. This mare is kept on a farm called "Hoeve Hangerijn" in Assebroek, Bruges, and it has been allowed to keep its long tail.
The horse in the background is of another breed.
The photo was taken on a sunny November day, in late afternoon.

We are all displaced creatures, struggling to make sense of the world with each new day
