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 As most have been replaced by tractors, their number has dwindled dramatically.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.
