mega autumn post; power up!

So I finally had the opportunity to bring the camera out for a half day, and the result of which are the following photos of autumn here in Antwerp! (less words, more pics this time)

yes, there are a couple of plants still flowering here and there..

[short interruption] and the reason for this super-photo post is that our friends from Holland, R and J are visiting us for the weekend (and a bit)...here you see a bit of Antwerp-orientation at Antwerpen Centraal Station where they give out free maps of the city..

Back to the theme of Autumn...like I mentioned in my previous post, there are carpets of yellow everywhere! its like a movie or something...on any other day, this would just be the corner of a street, but in autumn, its like a patterened carpet...

and here, for randomness' sake, is a Fig plant..

and the reason for it is that we happened to head in the direction of the Antwerpen Plantentuin

and look! a real christmas tree! not made of plastic/with glowing lights/smells of 'real' pine...

and I saw this poster and think it is super-keen-cool...i even alreayd have the handy flyer for the same event with the same graphic...

ok, so here is super touristy pic of the Cathedral and a tree...but not bad right, the light is still quite good for taking photos!!
and last but not least, i thought it was sorta important for everyone to see what we look like in our autumn fashions!!
