C'est au nord de Braine-l'Alleud , qui est le site de la bataille de Waterloo , où le résurgent Napoléon fut vaincu pour la dernière fois en 1815.
Waterloo is a town south of Brussels, in Belgium. It’s known as the site of the final defeat of Emperor Napoleon I, in 1815. South of town, overlooking the battlefield, the Lion’s Mound is an artificial hill topped by a cast-iron lion. At its foot is a rotunda housing the Panorama of the Battle, a vast circular painting. Nearby, the Memorial 1815 is an underground center illustrating the battle’s historic importance.
This is another one of those portfolio shots that all London photographers get around to shooting at some point.

I'm going to be leaving this message on my next few posted images. This is to let the photographers that I follow know that due to the immense amount of time it takes me to go through all the photos that appear in my Flickr stream each day I am setting my stream to show only one image per day per person. It's either that or get Flickr burn-out. Apologies in advance if your photos don't get as much of my attention as they used to. Hopefully people will understand my reasons for doing so. Thanks.

4th January 2015 - Low tide on the river and the anglers ply their trade during yet another stunning sunset.
Vertiginous pathway above Matlock Bath…not for the faint hearted or those of a wobbly disposition. The handrail is there so walkers can have something to hold on to whilst trying to push their lungs back inside their chest cavity.
Wow! I just want to thank everyone who took the time to comment and fav this image.

The Panorama of the Battle of Waterloo (French: Panorama de la Bataille de Waterloo) is a rotunda in Belgium that houses a monumental panoramic painting of the Battle of Waterloo. The neoclassical building is located immediately to the north of the Lion Mound, on the battlefield of the Battle of Waterloo, in the Belgian municipality of Braine-l'Alleud, in the province of Walloon Brabant.
The building and the painting were protected as historical monuments in 1998. In 2008 the Belgian government proposed that the panorama should be included within a UNESCO World Heritage Site listing.
Next to it is The Lion's Mound (French: Butte du Lion, lit. "Lion's Hillock/Knoll"; Dutch: Leeuw van Waterloo, lit. "Lion of Waterloo") is a large conical artificial hill located in the municipality of Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium. King William I of the Netherlands ordered its construction in 1820, and it was completed in 1826. It commemorates the location on the battlefield of Waterloo where a musket ball hit the shoulder of William II of the Netherlands (the Prince of Orange) and knocked him from his horse during the battle. It is also a memorial of the Battle of Quatre Bras, which had been fought two days earlier, on 16 June 1815.

Haven't been out much this week - up late watching the Olympics
Can Little Britain really be 2nd in the medals table?
Must be something in the water!
One of my favourite views of London from Waterloo Bridge
I'm not a massive fan of very wide panoramas but there are so many great buildings here it's difficult to leave any out
Best to approach this from the South Bank
If like me, you park near the Embankment - better hold your breath as you walk up the stairs - I always find myself singing The Message by Grandmaster Flash to myself for some reason - if you follow my drift!
If you go to the Golden Jubilee bridges further down next to the Hungerford bridge there's a better view of Big Ben but it's a bit bouncy for longer exposures (unless your a fan of unintentional ICM)
(or known unknowns!) :)
This is at Waterloo Underground Station on the moving walkway transit between the Northern Line and the futuristic Jubilee Line. This is the stationary part inbetween the 2 moving walkways.I have taken a few pictures here before as it is one of the rare Travelators on the system and is especially attractive with a metallic sheen
The picture was taken with a Sony A68 with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle zoom at 10mm. 3 images for HDR. The image was processed with Photomatix 6 using Tone balancer for a natural look.. Overall detail was brought up with Topaz Clarity. Next on a duplicate layer I used unsharp mask amount 31 amount and 31 radius for more pop. I used brightness adjustment layer to bring down some highlights using a layer mask

Waterloo Village is a restored 19th-century canal town in Byram Township, Sussex County (west of Stanhope) in northwestern New Jersey, United States. The community was approximately the half-way point in the roughly 102-mile (165 km) trip along the Morris Canal, which ran from Jersey City (across the Hudson River from Manhattan, New York) to Phillipsburg, New Jersey, (across the Delaware River from Easton, Pennsylvania). Waterloo possessed all the accommodations necessary to service the needs of a canal operation, including an inn, a general store, a church, a blacksmith shop (to service the mules on the canal), and a watermill. For canal workers, Waterloo's geographic location would have been conducive to being an overnight stopover point on the two-day trip between Phillipsburg and Jersey City.

It is currently an open-air museum in Allamuchy Mountain State Park. As part of the State Park, it is open to the public from sunrise to sunset. The village is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
With a pair of BCOL barns on a shitty day, 61E crosses over from two to one at Waterloo under the venerable NYC era signals. We had asked the crew to light up the class lights just for some added flavor and they happily obliged after they dropped the SD60E from the point.
I love Waterloo Station! Another trip to London, this time for a Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk jaunt in Central London, around the Covent Garden precincts.
IANR Oelwein crosses the Cedar River in downtown Waterloo, Iowa behind a four-pack of GP38-2s. Lead engine #3800 is a former B&O GP38 while the rest are former L&N GP38ACs rebuilt to Dash 2 specs.
