London





On a free walking tour I learned that these lions are a little off. The artist did not have access to an entire taxidermic lion nor a live lion and so used a stuffed lion's head to model the head, and his dog as a model for the body.

Brugge & Ghent, Belgium

The one thing I'd like to say about Belgium: What is better than chocolates, Bosch, and Van Eyck in fairy-tale medieval wonderlands?


Right: Sketches from the Ghent Altarpiece finished by Jan Van Eyck (his brother began it). The reason I originally went to Belgium was to see this altarpiece.
